How to use bluetooth internet connection?

[brad103]

Hi all

Have looked around and have seen many answers for linux, but not for Mac. Basically my XP guest(s) can connect to the internet fine using NAT when I'm at home using my Airport wifi connection. However, when I'm out and about using Bluetooth to connect via my phone, my Mac host can access the web fine, but XP guest cannot. Is there something else I need to do?

Many thanks
Brad

I have the same problem.

Using Bluetooth internet from iPhone:
Mac host - internet connection from bluetooth.
XP guest - no internet connection.

Using WiFi
Mac host - internet connection from wireless.
XP guest - internet connection from wireless.

I have Guest Additions installed (fantastic, wish I'd known about it earlier) but that makes no difference to this issue.

Some self-diagnosis:
I have another Java application from Sun (NetBeans) which runs on my Mac OS X host but cannot connect to the internet through Bluetooth internet connection.
I'm assuming it's for the same reason, but can't imagine why or how to fix it or who to ask...

Thanks for any pointers,
Paul.
