Guest pdgodfrey Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I have the orange SPV C500 which I sync with my home PC over bluetooth. Is it possible to use my PC's broadband internet connection to access the internet on my smartphone using this bluetooth connection (thus not having to pay to connect to the internet on GPRS) Can't seem to sort it out or find any articles on the subject. Cheers :?:

Guest pdgodfrey Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Settings, Data Connections, Internet Connection - set to Pass through <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for quick reply. Unfortunately "pass through" is not there to be picked as an option. Is there something I'm missing?
Guest Disco Stu Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I'm not an expert with this, but try connecting to your PC first and then the option should appear.
Guest squall Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 or selecting automatic in that section should do the same job, as it automatically uses the pc connection when available
Guest pdgodfrey Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I'm not an expert with this, but try connecting to your PC first and then the option should appear. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do I need to enable microsoft internet connection sharing or does it just work through the bluetooth network? Thanks for all your advice so far guys.
Guest Confucious Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Make sure your computer is connected to the internet, your phone is connected to the computer and under options ->Rules in ActiveSync on the PC the Pass through connection is set and it should work OK.
