Ahhhhhhh……. I need some help:

Hardware in question:
Hp ipaq 2210
Bluetooth dongle
Small home network [computers A,B,C,D for the sake of this excercise]
ADSL modem providing Internet access to the network connected to computer A
My computer: Computer B

Problem:
I want to access the Internet on my PDA through my computers Internet connection. At present I can get it when ActiveSync is connected, but not through the network Bluetooth Internet connection. Every time I try to connect to the Internet on my PDA, it looses the Internet connection for computer B. It then displays the message ‘the page you are looking for cannot be found’ on the screen of the ipaq. The internet connection on computer B is not re-gained until I turn the Bluetooth connection off. Naturally I thought an ip conflict within the network, but all the adaptors have different addresses. I have setup the BT adaptor to have 192.168.0.1 and I can’t find anything else on the network with this address . I have read from other people to enter the DNS address of the internet connection into the preffered DNS bit in the Bluetooth settings, but I don’t know what DNS is, or how to find out what it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx.
Tim.

It sounds like ICS is not configured correctly. Do you have ICS enabled from the adapter connected to the LAN to the Bluetooth adapter?

If you need to find what's your current DNS addresses, open a command window and run IPCONFIG /ALL. That'll tell you

which do I need to enable 'ICS' from, local area connection, or bluetooth network?? I really think there is a network conflict going on, as I am still loosing network access and therefore internet access on my pc every time I try to access the internet using my ipaq. I have checked on all the other computers on my network using 'ipconfig/all' from the command line, but cannot find anything with the ip address 192.168.0.1. I have downloaded a demo of winroute pro, as I couldn't see 'Lite' edition, but I don't know what I need to do with it?

Help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm very thankful for thoughts so far.

Tim.
