I'm really getting frustrated.

I have a bluetooth enabled iPaq and installed a WiComm bluetooth dongle on my PC to allow for internet connection sharing.



The dongle is on the same PC as the internet modem connection.



I have a 2nd PC which accesses the internet fine by bridging the Modem and 2nd PC adapters I have on 1st PC.



File sharing with the PPC works via Bluetooth Exchange Folder, so the paring and connection is there.



I thought by adding the Bluetooth adapter to my network bridge (IP=192.168.0.1) on the PC and a network connection on my PPC, the internet connection sharing would extend through.



However, when I try to connect with the Network shortcut I get "Unable to initiate the bluetooth connection" error. Also Active connections shows only an Incoming Connection with my PC, no Outgoing Connections.



Any ideas?

OK - So now I'm sure everything is working - Except I keep getting a Bluetooth logon Password requirement.



I'm able to sit on the front porch and pickup 2 different WLAN open connections to the internet without any problems (They just don't reach through brick walls.


If anyone has an idea as to how to by-pass this Bluetooth password, I'd sure appreciate.

You can leave the request for username and password empty - make sure to mark the checkbox "Remember password" so next connections will not ask for this again.
