In our room we have a computer and a laptop. The laptop has bluetooth and I bought a USB bluetooth dongle for my system. I am able to transfer files between the two.
We have 'You connect ' internet connection for the laptop .
Now , how can I connect both the systems in LAN and share the internet connection between the two ?

I have vista and xp in laptop and xp in desktop.
I tried the above procedure in laptop in xp and not able to connect.
I cannot follow The above said procedure in vista as the options are different.

Actually , I have a bluetooth dongle for my desktop (xp). It created a connection 'bluetooth network' in the 'Network connections'.
My laptop (Vista) has inbuilt bluetooth .There is a connection 'Local area connection 2 (Bluetooth personal area network)'in Network connections.

Now is it possible to connect these two systems in LAN ? How ?

I connect to internet (you tele conection ,Ethernet based) in laptop using 'Local area connection' and 'you connect' .

Now can I share this betweeen the two systems ? How?

I tried the above procedure but not able to connect properly.

In Laptop
Local area connection 2 (Bluetooth personal area network )-- properties-- ipv4--propreties
IP adress 192.168.0.1
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.2

preferred DNS server 192.168.0.2



In desktop
Local area connection -- properties-- ipv4--propreties
IP adress 192.168.0.2
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1

preferred DNS server 192.168.0.1.
The connection in Desktop shows connected but in laptop it shows 'not connected'.


What to do?

brother that not workable from my point of thinking.

you better make a good lan to lan or Wlan to Wlan connection, otherwise it is going to be some thing wrong.

So may be other in this forum might say same or help a bit.

Sorry mate
