Hi

I just set up two machines with their own USB Bluetooth dongles. I had XP
with service pack 2 on the one machine, and no matter what I tried, I
received errors saying that it was not licensed to work with bluetooth (it's
all 100% legal!). Anyhow, I was told to remove SP2 and it installed fine
afterwards. Does anyone know if one can somehow install SP2 and still have
one's bluetooth working 100%?

That's only part 1

Part 2: Although both machines have taken to the new software, I have
absolutely no idea how to network the two machines up in this way so that I
can browse my network like I used to do over an ordinary coax cable. I
would still like to be able to browse each PC on the other, and also to be
able to share the printer which is connected to my one PC. And lastly, I
would love to be able to also share my internet connection, so that when my
host computer is connected, the guest computer will be able to browse along
by means of having connected via the bluetooth connection.

Are any of the above things possible, and if so, is their a guide to lead me
through it, or can you advise?

Thanking you in advance!
