I have tried all in order to connect my Toshiba e740 Bluetooth with Windows XP (that have a Conceptronic Bluetooth USB card). Activesync connection works properly, but when I try to use the network profile to share some of my PC folders to be accesible by the PDA, I cannot find a path to do it.

Even after reading all your excellent manuals about network setup with BT for other PDA models (like IPAQs), I still cannot do it.

Please, if anybody owns an e740 and knows how to share PC folders to be accesible through the PDA, help me. I'm completely stuck and the sharing is a need for me, even more than activesync.

Hardware/Software used:

- Toshiba Pocket PC e740 Bluetooth with Pocket PC 2002 (BT is on-board, not in SD card)
- Toshiba Bluetooth Stack v3.0 installed (it allows network profile and others)

- Compaq Presario 2802 Laptop with Windows XP Professional Edition
- Conceptronic Bluetooth USB Card (allows network and all other profiles needed)

Tanis, from you Toshiba, are you able to see what services are offered by your computer?

Do you have the option to connect to LAN, and it fails if you attemp, or this option is not there at all?

Yes. In the PDA, when I select the remote device in Bluetooth Settings (My PC), four services appear: Bluetooth Serial Port, Dial-Up Networking, File Transfer and Network Access. In fact, to setup the ActiveSync connection through BT is easy and works: pressing and holding over "BT Serial Port" and simply select "Activesync Registration" do the work.

But in "Network Access", the only options that appear in the PDA are "Connection Registration" (when I select this option, nothing happens, I do not know if is a config problem in the PDA or in the BT USB card of my laptop) and "Properties". No place here to set up IPs/DNSs like in the iPaq's manuals that I've readed. The BT utilities of the Toshiba are confusing for me in comparison.

BTW, the BT card in the laptop allow all the typical services as well, like Serial Port, Dial-Up Networking, Fax, File Transfer, Headset, Network Access, PIM Item Transfer, PIM Synchronization and Audio Gateway. Network Access is set up to "start automatically", "use secure connection" and "allow other devices to access the internet/LAN via this computer".

Still trying, thanks for your time freitasm.

Your problem is, that you are using Bluetooth Stack version 3. It does not support multi-connections. The new version is v3.1. It supports Multipoint-connections. You can download it here:

Bye the way, I read some information, that the next version v4.0 will offer a lot Active Sync improvements.
