"Invalid Network Settings - The Return"
 

Hi,

I've been through posts on this forum, various sites etc and...

...I'm still suffering the dreaded "invalid network error" problem when browsing via a bluetooth connection to my PC and its DSL connection.

My set-up is:

Win XP
Generic Bluetooth Dongle
NX80v
Netfront 3.0
No router - this is purely via ICS.

I can Hotsync just fine - there's no problem creating a connection. Netfront simply pauses before giving an error. I thought it was a DNS problem to begin with, but all server pings return a time out.

Can anyone post their configuration for BT/XP access on an NX80 - I really think I'm missing something simple.

Thanks,

Mark.

Greetings!

Your problem is most likely the "No router - this is purely via ICS" on your list. Your CLIE will need to obtain an IP address which matches your subnet mask, as well as DNS server addresses. Without a router to assign these through DHCP, you will most likely need to do a manual setup in the network advanced prefs. screen on your CLIE.

Hey Bawko - it worked! After hours of mucking around it took approximately 30 seconds for me to get it all working after reading your post.

Many thanks for the help.
