gadgetdad, ok i managed to connect my Axim to my PC to allow internet connection. Ambicom (the makers of the bluetooth card/usb adapter) helped me out.

This is what they said :

BTLAN is only if you have a Bluetooth ACCESS POINT.

Are you trying to Access the Internet to the PDA through the PC? If so, please try the following manual for ACTIVESYNC:

NOTE:
MAKE sure that none of the devices are trusted when trying to do
activesync. Under status in the Bluetooth Neighborhood under status it should say "InRange". So delete the trust between the two devices and rediscover the
devices without the trust.

So I followed their instructions, and once you hit "GoActiveSync" it asks you which device to connect to, you choose your PC, and then it opens a port and connects to the PC. The status on the "Activesync" on the Axim will change to "Connected". It will then be able to sync and surf the net from your Axim.

Hope this helps.
