Ok, I've got a bluetooth dongle and shared my LAN/Internet connection with it.
Can someone tell me, please, how to get my P800 to use it?
Best regards,
Matt.

Just share your internet connection to the Bluetooth Lan adapter.
And don't forget.
The computer MUST have IP 192.168.0.1 and configure the firewall (if you have) to give an access to the bluetooth.
I did the same (1 PC with internet connection, Bluetooth Lan,Ethernet Lan and Fireware Lan).
I made first of all a bridge connection between Ethernet,bluetooth and fireware.
These three Lan adapters appears now as one.
On this Lan brigde connection i give IP 192.168.0.1 and finally i share the internet connection to this bridge.
Now i have internet at my pc,at my laptop via ethernet and to my 2nd pc via fireware.
And of course at P800 va bluetooth  |

Matt,
Here are some tips:
(a) use the Opera browser rather than the built-in one: Opera seems happy to use any existing connection (i.e. your bluetooth) to access the Internet, whereas the built-in one seems to be keen to connect using GPRS, or WAP or whatever.
(b) If the Internet gateway is on the same computer as the bluetooth adaptor, no "sharing" should be necessary. At least, that is how it works with my TDK bluetooth adaptor.
(c) You do not need to create or change ANY settings in the phone (other than switching on Bluetooth!) to be able to browse the internet through your PC's internet connection, using Opera. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
(d) A good way to tell if you're doing the right thing is to switch off bluetooth and try web browsing (using Opera) while your phone is in the cradle (assuming the cradle is connected to the internet-enabled PC). It should work in the same way.
(e) If that works, take the phone out of the cradle and enable bluetooth.
(f) If your internet gateway is across a network from the PC with the bluetooth adaptor, you do need to share it. In this case, make sure the bluetooth PC has picked an IP address on the same subnet as the internet gateway PC. For XP connection sharing, this is 192.168.0.x as Grokos said. Make sure the bluetooth PC can access the Internet before you try the phone.
(g) I don't think the phone gets its own IP address - the way it works for me is that the phone uses the PC's address on the network and Internet access requests appear to come from the PC.
Good luck!

I've found this topic, where they explain how to do it. But I do not understand it.
I hope someone can explain it to me.
