The Shaunster Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 OK, i have just bought a bluetooth dongal and a bluetooth access point, which as allowed me to get a internet connect on the laptop anywhere in the house wireless, But i am wanting to be able to view by files too just like you would on a normal ethernet network, via My Network places. I have shared the files i want to share but they are only viewable to the ethernet cliens .. So, is it possible to view files via my network places through bluetooth. If it is, how and what else will i need ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike RS2300 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 XP should add it into your network neighbourhood, although with mine the software that came with it had a bit called my bluetooth neighbourhood where i could share all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of this before, connect to the internet from anywhere in the house! can you divulge some more information on this please? where did you get 'em from and how much roughly? cheers. i got all the bluetooth stuff on ebay, USB dongle was about £20 and the bluetooth access point was about £40 My Setup: Well there are 2 PC's that require internet and 1 laptop that requires a wirless internet connection so what i have done is: Bought a linksys broadband 8 port routor then connected the broadband connection to the routor, then the 2 PC's connect to the routor too, which sorts the 2 PC's out. As for the Laptop, i have bought a Bluetooth Access point, which i have connected to the Routor and then put a bluetooth dongle on the laptop and WAL LA , Sorted ....... If you are wanting just to share and send files to one computer to another via bluetooth, all ya will need is a bluetooth USB Dongle for esch computer, but if you are wanting to conect to the internet then you will need a Bluetooth access point when you can recive a internet connection for any computer wiv a dongle that is with in range on the access point. Hope This Helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
