1166170 2011-01-01 04:27:00 Hi, I have been at this since I got this phone,I have seen lots and lots of messages saying how to connect the PC, through the mobile's GPRS connection, but I'm looking for the other way round. I have not succeeded yet. How can I get this done, as I don't want to access the internet through Vodafone, while I am at home, as Vodafone has a habbit of ripping their users off, when It comes to Data costs. I am running Windows 7, I bought the Standard Mini Dongle from DSE, as I thought that would do the trick, because I had a cheaper one. It doesn't seem to work either. Windows 7's Internet settings are so secure, and becuause of this, I can't share the man Local area Network to the Bluetooth PAN device, as the Bluetooth PAN device shows up as disconnected, and it's not in in the list. Can somone plesae tell me how to do this, as I have posted on several forums, and none have gotten back to me.

I am running Win Mobile 6.1
Thanks

1166172 2011-01-01 08:00:00 The Bluetooth PAN should work, unless one or both devices do not support it - in which case you'd be out of luck. Does the phone not have wifi?! inphinity (7274)
1166173 2011-01-02 20:33:00 No, It doesn't have Wi-Fi. The Bluetooth PAN won't work, becuase the internet connection has to be shared I think, and I can't share the internet connection on Win 7, becuase, the Bluetooth PAN shows up as disconnected. PaulB_ZA (16156)
