Answer» I'm wanting to share a dial-up internet connection, this computer being the one connected to the internet and doing the sharing. I'm wanting to share it with my laptop, using bluetooth. Ok so i've got a bluetooth PAN set up and all, and on this computer i went to it, right-clicked, properties, went to the advanced tab and enabled internet sharing. But there is still no internet on my laptop, although i'm connected to the bluetooth PAN and all. Any help would be appreciated! I'll post some INFO.. First of all i'm using IVT Corporation BlueSoleil on both computers This computer, the one doing the sharing: Dell Desktop, Dimension 2400. 40GB, 256 MB. Windows Xp home edition with sp2.
Laptop: Hp Pavilion dv6000, 60 GB, 512 MB. Windows Xp professional, media center editiondoes your laptop connect with an error message saying : limited or no connectivity? or does it just not pick up any signal from your router?Nope, no error messages... And yeah it should be GETTING signal cause I'm always sitting right beside it when I'm trying to do it. I feel like I must just be missing a simple little step somwhere or something cause everything seems to be in order, but yet no internet on my laptop you could call your isp for tech support, and have them try your wireless bluetooth using their laptop.
if it works for them, then it's probrably something wrong on your laptop.
you could try re-setting the router by pushing the small button at the back. i dont have a router... i'm using bluetooth dongles on both computersoh..then. i guess i can't help any further. i use a router, so...wait around for a BIT and someone who uses bluetooth dongles or knows more stuff about networking will come along and help.Alright thanks
