Guest dude Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 Well I bought my USB Bluetooth dongle ages ago and have never got it to work. All that crap with COM ports and ActiveSync, pi**ed me right off! I recently had to reformat so have been in the process of reinstalling all my goodies. Spent last night finsihing them all off. Fiddling through some papers my dongle dropped out. So, I thought - time to get the little ba*atrd sorted! Took me 10mins. 2hrs later I regained conciousness after falling of my chair, well after seeing the BT Serial port as COM4 and ActiveSync letting me select COM4 is enogh to fry the brain somewhat! Now Ive got it all sorted I need to clarify a few things, seeing as search is down at the momoent, i hope you dont mind. [*]For piggybacking my 1mb BB connection - In ActiveSync Ive selected "The Internet" and in IE Under "Connections" the same. Then selected "Pass-Through" under Data Connections. Is that correct? I dont want to do it wrong and end up with huge bills! [*]Ive read about how fast it is using a BB connection but should I be expecting as fast as a PC? I dont think Ive ever used WAP or GPRS properly so have no idea if its faster. [*]Does MSN Messenger actually work? Never seems to sign in for me :x Thanks for reading, hope you can help :)
Guest Vector Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 test the pass through connection by turning the aeroplane mode on, this way no gprs connection can be made... the speed of the connection won't be 1 mb because there is a limit to the speed of the bluetooth connection :) as for messenger, it should work :?
