connect two computers to internet through bluetooth

[liberal]

Hi guys,

I have desktop computer and laptop.

The two devices have a bluetooth, with which i can make a network (personal area network).

I have an internet connectin on my laptop and i want to connect the internet to my desktop through the bluetooth connection (the personal area network),

So my questions are: is that possible? and how to?

thanks in forward,

So your laptops have bluetooth but now wireless nic?

How is your 1 laptop connecting to the internet?

Be it possible or not -- its not really the best solution. Why not just setup a standard wireless network?

Even if you were using Bluetooth 3.0 + HS, its max in theory bandwidth is 24 Mbit/s, now take into account overhead, etc. etc. And its not going to be faster than a standard G network. And I find it unlikely you would be using that standard of bluetooth.. so your more like 3Mbits/sec max.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and save yourself a lot of grief and frustration -- and layout the few bucks for a wireless router or access point.

What hardware are you dealing with, and what internet connection do you have? And we can point you to a very reasonable priced solution to get wireless working.

But if your dead set on doing it with bluetooth.

More than likely you could just bridge the bluetooth interface with your internet one?? Again what type of internet connection do you have? And or you could setup internet connection sharing - ICS.

Yes, its possible but it would be a slow connection.

OS used in PC and the laptop?

I would highly suggest you just pickup a router for your 3.5G --- I know dlink announced they would be coming out with one DIR-412, IM sure there are many to choose from already.

This would be better then ICS imho, but sure just setup ICS.

It would be easier for the laptop with the 3.5G NIC to create a WiFi Ad-Hoc network to share the Interwebs and have the other computer join into it
