I'm trying to enable internet access on my Pocket PC using BT to connect to
Windows XP that is connected to a router.
My first idea was to bridge the PAN network with LAN, but unfortunately that
is not an option on Windows XP.
The other option was routing, but that won't work due to the fact that my
ISP owns all 'advanced' options in my DSL router so I can't set the route to
the PAN network even if i enable IPEnableRouter in registry.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Locate and add a Bluetooth access point. This should "bridge" the
Bluetooth network over the Ethernet router.

I use Pocket PC on my Dell X51v. If you use ActiveSync to connect to the
Windows XP computer there is a built in "pass-through" facility that will
automatically use your computer's internet connection.

Yes, I've found an article covering that topic, but I would also like to
find out how to make it work in PAN mode..

Thanks.
