Hi,

If two computers both had a usb bluetooth dongle, is that all that would be needed to create a wireless home network? (To share files and internet connection)

Is it really that easy? No hub needed?

There are a few dongles out with a maximum distance of 100m which is more than enough for a home network.

Thanks
Mark

Also, would the dongles have to be the same make and spec? or could to different dongles work together?

Thanks

If these bluetooth devices carry the bluetooth seal, then they are supposed to interoperate with each other. Check out the bluetooth website.

Different BT's should be able to converse with each other because they have to follow the same standard protocol.
