I have a HP h2215 and an AnyCom USB BT adapter. I'm trying to configure this on my laptop which also has a wireless connection. I can't seem to use ICS with the wireless lan connection. I've tried NAT32 without any success. I can browse using activesync, but not using network access. Is there any advantage in using network access over activesync? Did I miss something somewhere?

In terms of functionality it's the same. But you might see a little advantage in terms of speed. Remember that ActiveSync will constantly keep your devices in sync, therefore using bandwidth to check the status of each device. This bandwidth usage will impact in the speed you can browse the internet.

Do you have any personal firewall software installed on this computer?

Thanks for the quick response. I figured out that I needed to put the bluetooth device on a separate subnet and then I was able to setup ICS sucessfully on my wireless lan card. However, when I'm at work I can't seem to get the bluetooth network connection to work using the same wireless card. Of course I'm connecting to a different lan and we use a proxy at work. Any ideas? The network connection on the notebook works fine.
