Hi,

I hope I am posting in the right forum, but I didn't find a forum for the Charmer (MDA Compact II) PDA phone. So, I am posting here, because I noticed that there are many threads here about Charmer, but If there is any place where my problem fits better, please inform me about it.

So, is there any way to set up a wireless TCP/IP network between PC and Charmer (obviously, over bluetooth, Charmer doesn't have Wifi)? After 2 days of massive googleing and reading various threads, I figured out that my Charmer shipped with microsoft bt stack, witch is not support PAN. On the Magician, there is a solution, it is possible to replace the bt stack with another one, or expand the functionality (I don't know too much about the technical details) to support PAN. On the Prophet, the problem easily can be solved with Wifi.
But what about the Charmer? I cannot find any working hack to replace the bt stack.
Activesync works over bt, but there is no TCP/IP. If connect through USB cable, TCP/IP network appears.

I'm really disappointed, and plan to sell my 1 week old Charmer because of this problem. Any comments, tips or tricks are welcome.

Thanks in advance ;)

go into my network places, view network connections. you should be able to use the 'bluetooth network connection' to establish a network between the two but ive just tried it on mine and it doesnt work, guess the charmers stack doesnt support it. i know this is the right way to go about doing it as i can set up a network between my pc and laptop.

Yap dave, I did exactly the same, under network connections/bluetooth network connection I cannot add my ppc, becouse it says that it doesn't support PAN. That's why I need to replace the ms bt stack, wich is a garbage. As I figured out the last days, nobody have succesfully did this scenario yet.

I still don't have the solution for replace the BT stack on Charmer which supports PAN.

Any ideas?

When you connect to PC via ActiveSync (via Bluetooth) your ppc got address 192.168.55.101 and pc got address: 192.168.55.100
