Help setting up HTC TOUCH Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) to replace WiFi uses

[Audi2Audi]

Good Morning,

I would like to setup a Bluetooth PAN between my Touch and my home PC. I have searched many different forums and have yet to come up with a workable solution specifically for the TOUCH (Vogue)

When I search BT devices on the TOUCH, it finds my host PC and creates a partnership. However, the only service offered is ActiveSync. When I search Bluetooth devices on the host PC it finds the TOUCH and can create a partnership. When I use Bluetooth Networking setup on the host PC to search for devices that support PAN, it does not locate the TOUCH.

I am tending to believe that PAN is not enabled in the HTC Bluetooth Stack. I am unclear as to how to enable PAN or how to install/enable another Bluetooth Stack such as Widcomm (Broadcom) to enable PAN. I am sure that installing one of the other Bluetooth Stacks and directing the Registry to use this Stack is what is required. However, I do not know where to begin!

Ultimately, what I would like to do is setup the BT PAN, enable Internet Connection Sharing on the host PC, thusly borrowing my host PCs internet connection when I at home, then I don't have to worry about the WiFi I am missing from formerly owning the PPC6700 (HTC APACHE).

I am aware that I can share the internet connection through ActiveSync but I would like to solve the PAN issue for other reasons...i.e. Use on PCs that do not have ActiveSync installed on them: friend's houses ect.

Any input is greatly apreciated,

Thank You, Audi2Audi!
