Acer Aspire 5100 Laptop, Windows Vista Home Premium.
Anycomm Bluetooth 250 dongle, latest drivers
Dell Axim 51V with the bluetooth stack from axim site. ROM version a12, wm5

I have searched and searched, no joy. Want to use my laptop internet connection to connect my Axim to the internet via bluetooth. Is it possible?

I have been able to Active Sync via bluetooth.

I have tried the guides listed on the site, as well as others, but they are for WinXP. Is this why Vista stinks up the joint???

I would, but this for a hard wired work connection...

If you can sync then you should be able to use the internet. I have this setup on both my work pc (WinXP) and home pc (Vista). Possibly are they using a Proxy on the work PC? if so then you have to set up the pda to use the proxy.

I bought an Acer from Circuit City in August 2007. It's been fine...not very fond of Vista...but life goes on. Today I got the Blue Screen of Death... I contact support because I have a 2 year warranty. They tell me I have to send my laptop to Tx and they'll have it back to me in 7-10 business days. Are they insane? Yes. Real companies have local tech support to whom they can send a hard drive in a day and have me back up and running in less than 48 hours. Do yourself a favor...buy from HP, Dell, heck buy a MAC...not an acer!!!
