Hi@all,

okay, the situation is as follows: I own a 770 tablet and Dell laptop with Ubuntu with which it is no problem to let the tablet share its internet, over WLAN (with PCMCIA card) or over Bluetooth (with an USB dongle). Now I am at my girlfriend’s place from time to time and she owns a PC which runs Window$s XP. She also owns a Bluetooth dongle which she uses to get the pics she made with her mobile on the HDD. Now I am wondering if it would be possible to share her PC’s broadband internet with my Nokia 770 over Bluetooth. I’ve spent hours on Google and also used the forum search function, but absolutely nothing turned up. What is so easily done with Linux seems to be a hard nut to crack if you are forced to do it with Win XP. Does anybody know something that could work? I’d be very grateful for every answer

Try looking up gnubox.

It has been used to do similar things between PCs and cellphone/PDAs to allow IP passthrough with BT.

Okay, thank you so far for your help. Sadly, I couldn't get things working yet. The biggest problem is that I just can't pair my 770 with the Windows PC. I try to pair them like I would pair the 770 with a mobile. Everythings works fine, I enter the passkey on both machines. Windows tells me that the devices were paired with success, the 770 tells me that the "phone" does not offer any useful services and I should please select anoher one, Then the process aborts without the PC showig up in the 770's list of paired devices. Is there any way to get this to work, meaning to get the two devices to pair properly?

Did you go into the XP BT connection and configure what services you wanted to make available to the 770 and what level of security?

If you leave things at the default, it doesn't enable very much.

Also, comparing the Microsoft BT driver to the driver that came with my Targus BT dongle, the Microsoft version leaves a lot to be desired. I had a lot of problems when both drivers were installed and neither wanted to defer to the other. I don't think Microsoft put much effort into coming up with theirs.

Here is some good way to share internet over bluetooth
