Hi guys
I have an iPaq 210, WM 6, that I'd like to use as a WiFi card for an WinXP SP2 PC.
Here's my problem, which often happens (not always):
1. I turn on Bluetooth on the iPaq
2. I connect the PC to the iPaq using the "Explore my Bluetooth Places" wizard, "BT network access", then "Connect". It says "connected". Then on the XP "Network Connections" window, it says "acquiring network address", and shortly after: "connected". PC's IP address: 192.168.1.125, default gateway (the iPaq): 192.168.1.6. In fact, I've setup this static IP address on the iPaq using the ICScontrol utility. Both computers see each other and ping works both ways. In other words, BT PAN is up and working. So far so good.
3. Here's the problem: I then turn on the WLAN (Wi-Fi) on the device (iPaq), connecting to an access point. Once the WiFi connects, ping stops working between the PC and the iPaq. Then I can't get to the Internet from the PC using the iPaq. (XP "Network connections" still says: "connected" on the BT PAN network though).
When I disconnect the WLAN, BT ping starts working again.
What to do?
TIA
