Using my home internet connection through bluetooth - Motorola Q Forum

jlcapel · 09-11-2008, 02:53 PM

This has probably already been discussed before, but I have tried searching for a while and couldn't get a clear answer. I have a web server (connected to high speed internet) at my house and plan on buying a class 1 bluetooth dongle. I have a Q9m with 6.1 and would like to connect my phone to the web server through bluetooth and be able to share my high speed internet. This could also be used to sync my e-mails and calendar. I don't want to use my phone as a modem, but simply use the internet I currently have at home. I was thinking this could be done, but wanted to find out for sure. Can anyone help please?

I've been able to get this to work via WMDC (Vista's version of ActiveSync). If you can get the sync to work via bluetooth, then once it is connected, you should also be able to use the internet of the machine you are syncing to. It IS tricky getting BT sync to work, though. Read through the many threads on here if you have problems.

I believe you are referring to pass through connection...
