This shouldn't matter. Pretty much all high speed connections have to get the IP automatically.

You just need to enable ICS on the LAN connection that Comcast uses.

DNS lookup timed out.
Please check coverage,
and try again. [Comm.

Thanks for your help.

Make sure you have ICS enabled on the correct LAN card.

I do. I am also getting a DNS lookup error when trying to access my email with versamail.

DeanDC10

What does your Log Page say on the Palm once connected?

Local IP address? It should be 192.168.0.xxx
DNS address? It has to be 192.168.0.1

What is the Bluetooth LAN's address when you go to a DOS prompt and type: ipconfig /all ?

It has to be 192.168.0.1

In the log on the palm:
Local IP address: 192.168.1.1
Gateway address 0.0.0.0
DNS address:
192.168.0.1

From the DOS window
Ip address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

I can get the palm to connect to the pc via bluetooth, but cannot get on the internet nor get mail.

For some reason your Palm is signing on to the wrong range for the Local IP 192.168.1.1

It should be 192.168.0.xxx with the xxx's being something 1 to 254

Try looking at the TCP/IP properties of the Bluetooth LAN, it should look like this:

Yes, it looks like that. This is really becoming a pain. I have done everything you said and still no joy.

Sorry for the unregistered but I had to reinstall XP and I lost my cookies. Meanwhile I wait for my username and password to be sent to me...

Also I wrote a more exhaustive message, but it got lost when I got an error after hitting Submit Reply!!

In breif: I keep getting the "Error: Serial: Timeout (0x0305)" message.

I have followed your instructions word-by-word (including repairing).

My log reads:
Service name
Local IP address: 127.0.0.1
Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
DNS addresses:

192.168.0.1

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Update:

I went back and set to Automatic all the things that you said to set to manual, and my T3 tried to connect to the Dial-Up Networking.

So I set Dial-Up Networking to Manual, and though the My Network Access is set to Automatic, I get the Timeout error again.

I hope that helps!

In my case, everything has been set up according to the Guide. My T3 and my PC (via D-Link DBT-120) are paired and can exchange data, even Hotsync (albeit, quite slower vs. Cradle method).

Right now these are the IP addresses for them:

(Internet connection through a Dial-Up, ICS enabled)

On the Bluetooth LAN:

TCP/IP Item
----------------
IP 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

DNS Server: None

On the Tungsten T3:
IP: Automatic
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

Bluetooth connection result:
IP: 192.168.0.5
DNS: 192.168.0.1

Any ping with this connection on gives back a 0x1212 error.

I've tried almost everything. Zone Alarm is having the entire IP range of 192.168.0.xxx as a trusted zone. But nothing seems to work.

I guess it comes down to the possibility that ICS has been misconfigured. That's because I set the Dial-Up to come everytime a connection is needed, however when I made a connection Palm/Bluetooth LAN the Dial-Up doesn't fire up.

Feedback specially now, is appreciated to no end.

I would un-install and re-install the Bluetooth drivers. The serial time out is either driver related or pairing related as I say in the guide.

First, you have to start DUN and connect to your ISP before trying to connect via Bluetooth and share this connection. Even though you have selected it to connect when required this will have no effect on this kind of connection.

Second, I would completely disable Zone Alarm to see if it works. This more than likely the problem since your connection log looks correct. After you have have it working without Zone Alarm disabled try using Zone Alarm with the "Medium" security setting. I have read that this usually works.

Thanks for the quick reply, Dean:

Buuut no, even with Zone Alarm disabled (before I start the Dial-Up connection), the T3 can't resolve a DNS adress after it gets connected to the PC's BT LAN.

The last resort is to un-install a re-install the driver and reconfigure the BT services all over again.

Keep you all posted on that.

Thanks again.
