Bluetooth Question

[cmm1966]

Is it possible to share your internet DSL connection on your notebook PC with the Sony Clie PEG-NZ90 if you purchase and use a Bluetooth USB adapter like the D-Link DBT-120? Thank you for any information you may provide....

yes you can......but the configuration might be tricky..........

there are 2 methods:-

1. assuming that you are using windows xp, you need to configure the port for your bluetooth to communicate and also enable internet sharing on your dsl connection........you need a very comprehensive guide which you can google for it

2. you can use a ppp program in the market called softick ppp. this software will create a bridge for your nz90 when it is connected by bluetooth to your notebook.....but softick ppp is not free.....

p/s - I am using the 1st method
