Internet connection sharing via BT. Is it possible?

Hi all,

As you should have gathered from the title I want to know if it is possible to share my internet connection via BT. I already have a BT adapter for my pc and would prefer not to invest in an access point for the time being.

I know that I will have slower speeds of course but if it's at all possible then it will have to do for the time being...

thanks!

Yeps, at least that's what I've read. Also, while a wireless access point has more speed and range, I believe bluetooth consumes less battery power. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought bluetooth consumed more battery power? But I'm new lol.

The adapter I've got has a range of 100m so for use at home I think I will be fine if it works of course. As soon as I get my baby X30 I'll test it and report back. However if someone has had experience in this field please feel free to chime in. :)
