I was about to put the same question up.
I'm also having trouble getting to connect to the net via bluetooth from my PDA.

I bought an Ambicom bluetooth CF card and matching Ambicom bluetooth USB dongle for my PC. I installed the dongle and added the latest drivers. I added the CF to my Axim and instaled the latest drivers there too.

Now the PC can see the Axim in the bluetooth neighbourhood, and the Axim can see the PC. But when on the Axim, I look at the available services the PC has, it only lists 'Serial' and 'File transfer', BUT doesnt list 'LAN' as an available service. According to the PDF man page for the Ambicom devices, this service is required to allow the Axim to connect to the PC to use the LAN.

On the PC, i've added a 'modem' connection using 'direct cable connection' over the COM port allocated to the LAN service (when looking at the assigned services for the Ambicom bluetooth). Do I have to allow this to share the internet ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Neil.
