Default Internet connection from LAN just using bluetooth?

This might be an enormously newbie question, but if I have a work desktop connected to the internet via the LAN, can I add a bluetooth dongle to it to connect my Jasjar to the internet?

I think you can. You can sync your xda with Active Sync. Then it will use the internet connection from your PC, just like when you have it connected with the USB cable.

I just tried this and it worked.
What you gotta do is the following:

- Open your bluetooth connections on your PC
- Add new device
- Make sure you have your bluetooth turned on on your Universal and make detection of other devices possible
- Add your device on the PC
- Now go to the COM port tab
- Choose add and choose a new incomming port (your PC will make a new COM port, make sure this number is below 20)
- Open Active Sync on your universal and choose "menu" connect with bluetooth
- Now Active Sync will say that there are no devices are installed. Add a new device (your PC)
- You will see that the service "Active Sync" is available. Now check this option
- Now you can make the connection with your PC and also will be able to use the internet connection

A friend told me that the internet connection won't go faster then GPRS, so don't expect much. But you have your free wireless internet connection within a range of about 10 meter from your PC.
