Hi folks, need some help here!

Got a bluetake x-bridge bluetooth access point and want to use it to connect my jam to my PC and surf the net, synchronise etc.

I've connected it to my router via a network cable, but the device itself doesn't come with any drivers.

The connection settings are on the page below

http://www.bluetake.com/Manuals/BT300/BT300_QSG_EN.pdf

In the section marked console configuration, it talks about having a PC with Bluetooth function embedded in it, then talks about using a dongle to get the required drivers I guess. Does this mean I need to buy a dongle too?

Sorry for going on, but I'm a bit confused!!!!

It looks like a sort of standalone device. The only thing I can suggest is looking through the manual for the default IP it uses. You may be able to set it up through a web interface. The dongle is required for connecting to it, but you won't need to, because your PPC already has bluetooth.

Having said that, I really can't see why you bought a bluetooth access point which runs at less than 1Mbps, when for £20, you could have got a WiFi SDIO card, and connected at 11Mbps

The reason i bought it are
a) It was about £3 on ebay
b) I don't want to sacrifice storage space by having to use an SD wifi card

Thanks for your help anyway, but the pdf you looked at is the only manual i got!!

I'll persevere :-)

AFAIK the Jam does not support the LANP profile for BT networking. This is certainly the case for the Qtek S100. Anybody know different?
