Using K800i modem over Bluetooth? |

Sorry if this has already come up somewhere, but I couldn't find anything that was quite it.
Basically, I'm occasionally using the Mobile networking wizard in my K800i software pack to use my phone as a modem to connect to the internet via Orange GPRS, since I've still got the old 'Open Access' thing.
Anyway, I can do it when I've got my phone plugged in via USB, but I want to be able to do it via Bluetooth too. But even when I've got the phone connected via bluetooth, I can't use the phone's modem to connect to the internet.
When the phone is USB-plugged in, going to 'Network Connections' shows the dial-up GPRS connection, with 'Sony Ericsson Device 039 USB WMC Data Modem' as the modem. But if I unplug it, it disconnects and claims the modem for that connection is my computer's inbuilt dialup modem.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! |

On your phone, go to connectivity - Bluetooth - Bluetooth Internet.
Maybe you haven't select the Bluetooth Internet Data Accounts yet... |

If you go to your 'Device Manager' and ensure you have your Bluetooth modems installed and working correctly.
Then you need to create a new connections using the Bluetooth modems.
Hope this helps.

I think you've hit upon my problem there - didn't realise I needed a bluetooth modem, I thought the bluetooth connection could just bridge over to the phone GPRS connection.
I have a sitecomm bluetooth PC card... how do I get a bluetooth modem driver for this? The driver installation pack doesn't seem to have configured one.
