Connecting to Internet via Advantage?

[Zealus]

Just got HTC Advantage 7501 and am having problems connecting my laptop to DialUp Server. I checked my old set up (with BlueAngel) and there's Bluetooth Dial Up Server that allows connecting laptop via Bluetooth to the HTC as a dial up modem to the internet. At least that's how it worked with Verizon here in US.

Can somebody suggests how to deal with this case? Am I missing some drivers or anything? In short - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you tried using "Internet Sharing?" You can connect via USB or BT...

Yes, that's exactly it, thank you!

I to Internet connection sharing, connected to internet via 3G cellular connection and hooked up laptop to Advantage via Bluetooth Network Access Point. That worked.

I've been trying to get this working for the last day. My X7501 is discoverable, I can see it for other bluetooth profiles. When I try to add the device by clicking "Join Personal Area Network" on my laptop it then prompts me to search for another device. I can't see my Athena. I can see another computer that supports PAN, just not the Athena.

Any thoughts?

Check if there is a drop-down box that displays "Show computers only" and change it to "Show all devices". That, of course, if you are using Win XP :)
