Internet sharing via bluetooth
Apr 10 2008, 1:52 PM EDT
I can share GPRS internet on my laptop though the USB cable.

But I am unable to use the option "Bluetooth PAN".
My operating system is WinXP Home

Have you already created a BT partnership between your device and PC??? Please tell us what you have done to set this up and where you run into trouble... Do you find this valuable?

If there was a place here to upload images, I would have shown what I did.

Anyway, I set up the bluetooth config on my laptop and switched on Bluetooth on mobile as well as on laptop.
Then went to "internet sharing" and selected "Bluetooth PAN". After this I opened my Internet explorer on my PC and tried to open www.google.com
But no page opened as there was no connection established.

The connection works well with my USB though.

You have to select Join Personal Area Network on your laptop's bloctooth icon after starting Internet Sharing on the Touch. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Unfortunately I do not have that option when I right-click on the bluetooth icon.
I think WinXP home does not have that option.

Well even if I did select Join Personal Area Network, my laptop could not establish a connection with the HTC in order to connect to the Internet, while both devices were already paired. Do you find this valuable?
