Bluetooth web browsing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

IF you're using a USB dongle on your computer then you'll use ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing) to allow your PDA to access the Internet through your
computer. Of course it depends on what PDA we're talking about. In the worst
case you can connect ActiveSync over Bluetooth and still access the Internet
that way - but slower because ActiveSync uses more bandwidth.

Also, you have to wrroy about your current configuration. ICS requires a
special address (192.168.0.1) and if it's not available then you can either
use Bridge (Windows XP) or install a third part program (NAT32).

Check our Bluetooth Guides (link below) for full instructions.
