Bluetooth Network internet connection

[Tailzer]

Hello,
I have managed to connect my ipaq5550 to my pc using the bluetooth dongle, and can browse files on my pc through the ipaq, and vice versa. The problem comes to active sync and internet.
1 Active sync, does not find a connection if run from my pc (I have the bluetooh set to emulate com3) , and when I run from the ipaq if requests a password to connect on my pc, and its not the password for the ipaq or the bluetooth pin?
any ideas?
2. The internet does not work on the ipaq, it points to the fact that I havent turned on ics on my pc, which i cant beacuse my pc is on a network and is issued with an ip and cannot have 192.168.0.1 which ics needs (that ip os my server which is directley connected to the internet)
also if i setup a bluetooth internet connection on the ipaq it fails to connect
any help would be most welcome!
thanks in advance

1) Right click on my computer, properties, hardware, device manager, then Ports and tell me what port is it definitely com 3?
Now right click on activesync, connections settings and make sure the com matches your device manager normally com 3 and allow network has a tick also.
2) Can you browse the web via the usb cradle?

Thanks,
The activesync asked for the same password when connected to the craddle. It nows accepts my system password, and connects either via bluetooth or cradle, and I can enable the pass through internet option now, and can browse the web perfectly.(although web pages do look strange on a handheld???)

You will find that not every web page is not designed to run on a PDA, if you go onto www.google.com you will notice it changes it to www.google.com/palm At the moment there is not that many sites available for easy access on your PDA, a lot of scrolling is involved.
