I'm bashing my head against a wall trying to get my PDA to access the
Internet via bluetooth.



I have a PC with a bluetooth Dongle (this pc is also running on a network as a simple file server - win xp pro workgroup) I have paired my PDA with it and can access the computer via the PDA to view network drives and access the computers shared folders. I cannot however, get the PDA to access the Internet via the PC. I have created a seperate internet connection for this and I have disable the network access share so there is no confusion.

Can someone please tell me how to do this, it should be fairly simple but I am at a loss, I have tried the Internet sharing wizard, on the pc with the bluetooth dongle, but it doesn't work and comes back saying there was a problem, how can I do this manually


Please help any suggestions will do!!

The pc with the bluetooth dongle is not running Active Sync, my other computer is running that.

First off all I'd suggest you to chekc our Bluetooth Guides. Review each step, one-by-one. Then read the first article, about what to check if the network is not working.
