Pocket PC Networking >> Bluetooth PAN question

by nobs » Fri, 20 May 2005 20:53:03 GMT

Hello

I need a TCP connection between an PPC and an laptop. It works fine
if I establish manually the Connection over Bt.

What I need to know is: Is there an way to get the IP Adress of the
oder
BT device?
So, that my application sees there is a connection and automaticly
connect to
the right IP Adress (right know i have to look it up on the laptop
and then manually enter it. (I also can enter the laptop computer name
but this is for my purpose not a practical solution)

Also

Somebody have some sample Code how I can automaticly establish a PAN
connection
(without userinteraction)

Hopefully to get some answers :-)

1. TCP/IP over bluetooth PAN question 

Hi,

I am trying to run MaxVista software over a Bluetooth PAN connection
and am having problems making the IP connection that would allow
this :

One machine is a desktop provided by my client and is a member of
their domain, this m/c is using the Blue Soleil BT stack and a USB BT
dongle.  The other machine is my Toshiba laptop using the built in BT
hardware and Toshiba stack, it is not a member of my clients' domain
and cannot be added to it.

I have got as far as making a BT PAN connection between the machines
and "ipconfig /all" on both machines shows this PAN connection as
being available,  It also shows that BT PAN IP addresses have been
allocated for both machines and that the relevant subnet mask is
compatible with these addresses.  All this via the BT networking.
Each machine can ping itself using the BT PAN IP address and this
works fine

The next obvious step is to ping between the machines and this is
where the problem is. Using the same IP addresses as before, the two
machines cannot see each other and I am at a loss to understand why
this is ?

Any advice as to what to try would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Mike Davies

3. Bluetooth PAN 

I was hoping someone could help me with my Bluetooth PAN questions.

First, could someone explain what is accomplished by setting up a Bluetooth 
PAN connection, both a NAP and PANu are available for my Bluetooth phone?  If 
someone could explain each of these and what use they are, that would be 
great.

Secondly, after enabling Internet connection sharing and connecting to my 
Sony Ericsson Z750a phone via a PANu Bluetooth connection I get a globe and a 
PC icon on my phone screen.  I've talked with both AT&T and Sony and neither 
can verify that I am sharing my internet connection on my PC with my phone.  
The goal would be for me to get on the internet with my phone but not go 
through AT&T.  This does seem possible but I don't understand enough about 
Bluetooth PANs to be certain.

Thanks.

5. PAN over Bluetooth 

Hi,

I am trying to set up a personal area network with the following config:

Home PC: Win XP Home Ed., Acer BT Dongle, ADSL internet access over ethernet
card, no router, Zone Alarm firewall

Notebook: Win XP Prof., BT on board with Widcomm drivers, Zone Alarm
firewall

Today, I can transfer files both ways without problems. I would like to set
it up as a network so I can read
mail, connect to internet when using notebook at home. Another consideration
is that I have another internet
connection at work with a fixed IP, and I do not want to change my config
every time I have used my notebook
at home.

I have managed once to get all this to work, it does not anymore. I have
tried setting up a MS network with
internet connection sharing, tried to bridge the connections etc. I am not
getting any further. Does anyone
know a step by step procedure for setting up something like this?

Cheers, Thorbjorn

7. xp - ICS - bluetooth PAN - cant download large files 

Hi,

I have a very weird problem.

I have 3 XP Pro SP2 PCs, one acts as the gateway sharing Internet connection 
from cable modem (Comcast), the other two clients directly connect to 
gateway via bluetooth resulting in a 3-computer Bluetooth PAN. One client 
works just fine, can see other PCs on network, download upload any size of 
data on Internet. However the other client acts really bizarre; the private 
LAN operations are allright, however, in the case of accessing the public 
Internet, it is able to download small-sized web pages, but cannot download 
larger web pages - same goeas true for FTP and even telnet sessions. 
However, if directly connected to the Internet standalone (it is originally 
configured for Yahoo! DSL), the machine is operating fine in all mentioned 
cases.

Does anyone have any pointers, I am currently stuck?

Thank you,

-Kemal.
