Guys....Correct me if I am wrong but I want to connect my laptop (O.S Vista) with my Desktop (XP) via Bluetooth connectivity.....For now...i am just able to transfer files and folder via Bluetooth software..but not really making a network....

For an example....Say..If I want to play a network game between my laptop and desktop I need to connect these two PCs via Bluetooth....So I am nt able to do that.....

Does it works?

Please help me....

Better get a RJ45

u can create a Bluetooth PAN to connect both but speeds will be very slow for gaming and large file transfers.

Yes, I am able to make PAN, but when I go to My Networks, it doesnot show my Computer, neither the shared files of other computer. It just shows that the BT is connected and connection Icon but I am not really able to use it as Network as like in General.

Is there any way of connecting two PCs via Network Cable without Hub? I mean like without Hub, Directly from Computer Network Modem to Modem....? Is yes...how do I configure it within a LAPTOP (Vista) and Desktop (XP).....Please suggest me.....

you need to right click and do Send To Bloothooth Devices and select the computer where you wanna transfer the file.

Bluetooth is not for gaming.
So do not say that gaming will be slow.
You need to have a protocol like that over bluetooth.
Bluetooth is generally connection based when you try to acquire some data connection is made and then it disconnects even though you feel to have that you are connected.

For establishing a connection between two systems you need a LAN cable.
ANd do little configuring of your network device.
you can try and search threads giving exact details of this in the Hardware Troubleshooting section.
