hey,

i've searched through the forum and didnt find anything about this,
i'm trying to get my universal to network with my PC through BT so i could:
1. use SMB file sharing (e.g \\192.168.0.1\)
2. have the universal use my PC's internet connection.

i know this *screams* for WIFI, but it's not an option as i need to do it in my workplace, and im not allowed to have a wifi router there.

i managed to set up BT PAN through the internet sharing app, but then the uni uses the GPRS connection instead of the PC's.
i tried syncing with ActiveSync, and that DID gave me internet connection,
but i had problems sharing my drives, and connecting to other apps like msn, remote desktop, and probably anything other than HTTP.

Is there a way to set up a REAL network between my PC and uni with the MS BT stack?
The widcomm stack is not an option, sadly. It gives me problems answering calls while driving, or through my private headset...

I'm not sure about file sharing, but I know you can set up internet access via BT. I've done it through another cellphone (3G), not a PC, but the key is to make sure that "connect to Internet" is set for BT as modem.

Also, on a related note, I know you can use the WM version of LogMeIn to access a PC... so, theoretically, you could BT to access the Internet, and then come back in on the Internet to access the PC. :)

Sorry, I haven't done it for a while, and I'm not a total expert....
