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:

http://www.ambicom.com/support/insta...ActiveSync.pdf

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.
N31LS,
I followed those instructions, but when I hit "GoActiveSync" and choose my PC, I cou;d't connect to my PC and got error message.

Communication Error
"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Winsok services coulod not start due to a critical error (Error %d).
Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, see the Troubleshooting section of Microsoft ActiveSync Help."

I have ambicom BT CF card and Epox BT USB Dongle. I tried many times, but I could't use internet on my PDA. And my PC has been setup Internet Sharing from Cable Connection for BT LAN Access Server Driver
Connection

Anyone has this problem?
