    I have a wi-fi network in my house which is up and running. I have a PDA which is bluetooth enabled and a bluetooth adapter on my laptop. I attempted to access the internet from the PDA but there is constantly a DNS Server error, I can HotSync and access the Bluetooth network just not the internet. What do I do?

    i just connect mine up to the computer and i'm online but it's a bit of a pain lol no keyboard and the laptop is so much easier.
    try using bills activesync instead
    i only reply so i'd get an email when someone has a good suggestion cos i got bluetooth for mine too, use it for the satnav

    you need to set ip to your compters ip

    find out by clicking on.........
    start....run....type cmd /enter type ipconfig it will tell you it's ip
