I have just purchased two Bluetooth DBT-120 dongles.

I have a desktop and notebook. Both run W2K.

The Desktop has a cable model attached.

I want to be able to access the cable modem thru the laptop and the Bluetooth dongles.

This is all new to me.

I've done some searches on the web, but cannot find any help.

Help please?

The principle is the same as using the Pocket PC. If you look in this article you can see what is needed to configure on the SERVER side of your connection.

The server side is the one connected to the cable modem or ADSL line.

I assume both devices are paired. If so, on the client side, click in My Bluetooth places in the desktop, right click the icon corresponding to the server and select Connect to Network Access.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks.

I seem to have successfully made the two pc's talk to each other, but can't seem to get the notebook to get onto the net using the cable modem connected to the desktop.
