"how to" view internet pages using bluetooth

[gumby]

Thanks to the last chap who told me to use activesync to view web pages using bluetooth.. the problem is "How" to get it to do that.. I have a little bluetooth dongle on the pc but they don't seem to talk to each other even though they are bonded.. and precisely how :cry: do i view an internet page using bluetooth

Do you tyhink it may be a bluetooth compatiblilty issue.. I've heard that maybe a different dongle and driver may do the trick?

The Idiot's guide would be much appreciated!!!

Hi,

I downloaded the Bluetooth application ("fix") from here:

http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html

Then Bluetooth works perfectly with my 3com PCMCIA card in the laptop.

I now only do ActiveSync via Bluetooth with one exception - when I want to send music via Windows Media to the Imate I have to use the cradle or cable because the bluetooth appears to the laptop as a serial link and the Windows Media does not support serial devices.

I can also use internet on the Imate via ActiveSync and bluetooth - although generally I stick to the laptop for that !

Regards, Dave

Hi again,

This bluetooth fix allows a simple connection from PC to Imate via ActiveSync and Bluetooth. It does not address internet issues.

Have you tried connecting the Imate/XDA2 to a PC with cable or cradle and then used Internet ?

It could be that your problem is not with Bluetooth - have you tried the Connection settings ? or, have you check the ActiveSync settings on the Imate.

I probably understood your problem. You can't connect your Xda via ActiveSync via bluetooth.

First..assure the 2 Bluetooth devices are on discoverable mode.
Then go into your Pocket Pc START-Settings-System-Blueooth settings-tap to Bluetooth ActyveSync setup[start]
Select Discoverable mode and Tap in Bonded devices and NEW..
So..wait and Select your pc.
Then you will pair your pc with Pda.
Inserted the same code on 2 devices you probably can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth.
Simply go in your Pocket pc,START-ActiveSync-Tools-Connect via bluetooth.

If this not help,try to set the right port on your PC ActiveSync-File-Connection Settings-COM1-2...etc..
