I have seen http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1421 this guide here. But I am missing such Bluetooth Manager / Connection Wizard on my iPAQ rw6815 (WM5). There is only primitive Wireless manager with nearly no features for BT.

Is there some another similar software I could download and use?

Current Windows Mobile devices use the Microsoft Bluetooth software, and cannot be replaced.

The software does not support Internet sharing, but you can do it through ActiveSync. Simply establish an ActiveSync over Bluetooth and your device will automatically have Internet access.

OK, and what about the BT networking?

No support for that neither.

Your only option is through ActiveSync.

That in fact means that I can either be synchronized but not use network features (BT) or use network features but without synchronization (wi-fi)... Tricky...

You asked for Internet sharing, and this is possible with ActiveSync - as soon as you connect to ActiveSync over Bluetooth your Pocket PC has Internet access through that connection.

It can't see network shares, but that's not what I thought you wanted to do, because you linked to the Internet access page...

I am using i-mate JAM PPC Mobile 2003 SE. I do not have BT Manager. I only see COM0 available under BT COM Ports. I am trying to follow steps outlined at http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=1423 to setup ActiveSync using Bluetooth. How do I get BT Manager? Or how do I get COM4 or 5 to show on the device?
