Internet connection using LAN and bluetooth

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

Are you using the Windows Bluetooth software or something else?

If using the Windows Bluetooth software, then the PC can only be a client,
not a server. In this case you have to bridge this connection to another one
on your computer (the one facing the Internet) and connect *from* your PC to
your Pocket PC.

If you are using Widcomm software instead, the you can either use ICS and
share the Internet connectiohn to your Bluetooth adapter and connect *from*
your Pocket PC. Or Bridge the connections and manually configure IP,DNS, etc
on your Pocket PC and connect *from* your Pocket PC.
