---

Guyz,

Does anyone know how to connect the internet using Bluetooth PAN? Here is the senario:

I have a Cdrking Bluesoeil Bluetooth dongle. I have also a PC with Smart Bro connection. I want to share my Smart bro from my PC to my PPC... (O2 XDA IIs using WM6).. I tried it to configure it my self for quite sometime. When i connect my Bluetooth PAN. in my PPC internet sharing it needs a network connection.
My PPC will pop-up a message:

"cannot obtain a server assigned IP address.
Try agian later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"

Do i need to make a Network Connection on my PPC?

what do you think must i do? for me to share my internet connection?

Thanks for anyone's help

Enable or add a DHCP server on the PC with the bluetooth. Or you could specifiy a static address. The address should also be a sub-net of the BT PAN of the PC.

The PC should also be able to route packets to your internet.
If you are in linux just issue the command "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to enable forwarding. Firewall / iptables sometimes should also be set if you are using a firewall.

If in windows, turn on ICS (internet connection sharing) or run a routing or proxy programs. I have used m-Router to connect my PDA to the internet.
