Hi,

Im having problems connecting my iPAQ 3970 to my desktop running WinXp and a gigabyte bluetooth adapter. My iPAQ has PPC2003 so it has the same bluetooth stack as a 5400 series iPAQ.


Ive followed the guide http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=448 to no avail.

The problem is that I have an ADSL modem and Netgear MR814v2 router and need help with the ip settings.

Firstly my ADSL modem has a fixed 192.168.0.1 ip address which cant be changed.
My router has an ipo address of 192.168.0.2 ip
The desktop has an ip of 192.168.0.3
All are on the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
The default gateway is 192.168.0.2
The DNS and Alt DNS are my ISP addresses.

The router is not running in DHCP mode as it is also a wireless router. Ive done this for security purposes and assigned ip's. The iPAQ has been assigned an ip of 192.168.0.5.

Everything works in terms of bluetooth and even the network connection connects but I can browse with internet explorer.

Could someone please tell me what I should set as the ip, sub net, gateway and dns for the iPAQ and the desktop connection for the bluetooth network adapter to make this work.

Thanks in advance.

Rambler

H3970 with Windows Mobile 2003? This is not the beta leaked from some server in Belgium is it? Apparently Bluetooth doesn't behave very well on that initial version.

Anyway, to answer your question. Since you can't change the router's IP address, ICS will not work for you, since the ICS receiving adapter must be 192.168.0.1. The best option is to install Winrouter and go from there.

You'll have to configure Winrouter to use other IP range, like 192.168.2.x, to avoid conflicts with your router.
