Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / April 2004Network Access via Bluetooth Doesn't Work
Hi all, Have an IPAQ 4155 which I use with two desktop PC's, both using a DLINK DBT-120 BT USB adapter. I sync with one of them. This all worked fine untl a few days ago, when after reinstalling drivers on one PC, network access stopped working. I'm using vxUtil and when I ping something with an IP address, I get 5 bad packets. This includes the PC I'm using Network Access with. ActiveSync and file sharing via BT works. I'm running Windows XP Pro firewall, but have enabled ICMP echo. Pinging a hostname I get "Cannot find host". Using IE I get "The page you are looking for cannot be found". This all used to work. What could be the problem here? -- Johan Have you installed a firewall lately? The drivers you refer to are the Bluetooth drivers or some other software? Are you using Bridge or ICS? Perhaps installing the drivers corrupted the configuration?

No. As I said I'm using the XP firewall. This is on both desktop PC's. But I cannot even ping these PC's with IP when I'm connecting through them. Mauricio> The drivers you refer to are the Bluetooth drivers or some Mauricio> other software? The BT drivers. And I've reinstalled these drivers several times afterwards. Also tried latest WIDCOMM drivers. No luck. Buit this is only on PC #2. On PC #1 I haven't done anything, and the problem still popped up with this one. Therefore I suspect something weird on the PPC itself. But what? Mauricio> Are you using Bridge or ICS? I don't know what you are referring to here. -- Johan ICS or Bridge are the network configuration used on Windows to share your internet access to other adapters - in this case the Bluetooth adapter. Have a look in our Bluetooth Guides to check the screenshots and steps.

I followed your guide while setting this up. -- Johan |
