How to Set Up BT Internet on a Pocket PC

Pocket PCs make Internet access quick and easy with a Windows-based format. Setting up a Bluetooth Internet connection can be done by anyone.

Things You'll Need

• Pocket PC
• PC or laptop with bluetooth adapter

Instructions

1. Start the Bluetooth connection process by opening your computer's control panel, which can be accessed through the start menu. Click on "Set Up a Network Connection," and choose "PAN network" (personal area network). The PAN network is used to connect Bluetooth devices.

2. Follow the prompt that appears on your computer screen showing available Bluetooth devices. Double-click on the name of your Pocket PC. Click "connect" to establish a Bluetooth connection between your Pocket PC and your computer. Leave this screen maximized; you will come back to it later.

3. Moving on to your Pocket PC, press the button corresponding to your "start" menu. From the "start" menu, access the "settings" folder.

4. Click on the "Internet sharing" icon located within your settings folder. Choose "Bluetooth PAN" as the PC connection, and "Phone as Modem" as the network connection.

5. Establish a four-digit connection PIN on your Pocket PC. Access your computer and enter the four-digit PIN to use bluetooth internet sharing.

Tips & Warnings

• If you get distracted or mess up one of the steps, it is best to start over. The connection must be properly set on both devices.
