Okay, I have followed the online guides and checked the "things to check" list.
However, I still can't get a connection to the net via Bluetooth on my 2210.
The wizard gets up to the initial connection and it fails stating "Unable to establish a connection. Please make sure the device is enabled and in range. Also verify that the requested service is available."
Sync and files access works via Bluetooth so no hardware prob. Internet access sharing is enabled where appropriate. Correct IP address is specified for TCP/IP Bluetooth.
What now?

Regards.

What OS are you using on your computer? If this is Windows XP SP2, is the built-in firewall on?

The IP address 192.168.0.1 must be on the to side of the sharing (in this case the virtual Bluetooth ethernet adapter).

If it doesn't work, and you're using Windows XP, try using Bridge instead.
