We've had an ethernet/Wifi network here for a while, using the 100.0.1.0/255.255.255.0 ip range. I recently purchased a Belkin F8T001 BT USB adaptor that defaults to the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 range. Consequently, I cannot access the Internet via Bluetooth on my iPaq 5550. I can ActiveSync, but that's where it ends.

Is there a way to force the BT adaptor to use a subnet other than 192.168.0.x?

fwiw, all my Routers/APs are from Linksys (which uses the 192.169.1.x range by default, but is easy enough to change).

Not if you're using ICS. If you want complete control on address, then a more robust routing solution is needed. You can try Winrouter Lite for that. You'll be able to specify all addresses and more...

Since this issue is getting considerably more replies in the BT ActiveSync but no Internet discussion over at Pocket PC Thoughts, I'd like to continue it there if you don't mind.
