Bluetooth Access Point

[Guest RazorD]

I picked me up a bargin today, PC World have screwed up their prices (my friend working there says their new system is always doing this) meaning the Bluetooth Access Point with USB Print Server by belkin is £9.99 (around £80 everywhere else).

(www.pcworld.co.uk search for belkin bluetooth, then go into networking kits - update: its out of stock, now :))

Its all connected, got its IP, online, and connected on the internet, sooo, how can i make the phone use it? I know Activesync supports connection over ethernet, mebbi i could pass through the bluetooth AP and onto the PC and it connect that way?

Got mine instore :) My friend was doin' the daily scan of the items and noticed it, texted me and i got it :P

[Guest doyle_am]

Didn't they query the price?

Or did you give a printout of the site or something to show what they're offering it at?

[Guest RazorD]

Nope :) Till said £9.99, i think the woman was too dumb to realise what it was.

[Guest RazorD]

Lol! Seen the price this morning?!

[Guest doyle_am]

Yup! Thank god I ordered a couple at 9.99.

Have you tried connecting to the internet using your C500 through it?

[Guest RazorD]

Yeh, this is why i posted. It doesnt wanna work. :)

I suspect its because the C500 does not have any LAN profiles for Bluetooth....

On a PocketPC, it supports the LAN->PPP profile, which means you can access your network, and hence internet..

The C500 does not have any useful Bluetooth profiles..

The AP you have does have a serial profile, but I bet thats for the printer..

Any luck with this?

Its not even on the pcworld site anymore :)
