You can connect to ActiveSync over Bluetooth and access the Internet and LAN from there.

Thank you very much for fast reply,
I've tried ActiveSync, but when I open IE on Pocket PC is trying to dial my ISP throught modem on my laptop.
but I need to share my broadband Internet which i connected right now with my Laptop.
I have enabled internet sharing on my wireless network adapter.(I use XP Pro)

Please advise.
thx

Please check the ActiveSync option again. When your Pocket PC connects via ActiveSync it automatically gains Internet access. If not, the configuration is incorrect.

The ActiveSync is your only option, since Internet Connection Sharing won't work with the i-mate Pocket PC because of the software it uses for Bluetooth.

Thank you again very mucccccccccch!!
you are great, it's working.....
today i was reading different articles in Internet for more than six hours, but just this simple tool (ActiveSync) worked out.

Last problem was in "connection setting"
under "This computer is connected to :" i had used "Automatic" which it was not working!!!!
I've changed it to "The Internet" ,now is working.....

But I have one small problem still, I couldn't connect ActiveSync through buletooth and I'm using USB cable!!!
Please advise what could be wrong?

thx

You should only need to establish an ActiveSync connection over Bluetooth, like the previous comments on this thread.

If you need more guidance, please create another topic.
