Bluetooth PC to PC networking (anyone help? please)

I know, heard it all about how I should use wi-fi for my wireless connection but I went out and bought bluetooth dongles. Main reason for this was cost but also as it limits the range at which people can try and hack my connection, so in theory they would need to be sitting on my doorstep to hack my PC.
Anyway got 2 PC’s and both have dangles. had no problems setting up dongles and bluetooth on main PC. On 2nd PC it wouldn’t recognise dongle as being connected, which has been resolved as was something to done with the type of usb connections PC has. 2nd PC now detects dongle but shows network connection in taskbar as having a cable unplugged. I can detect both systems via searching for devices and can indeed share files between the 2, what I want to do and the reason for getting them was to share internet connection. When I attempt to connect the network connection I get a message saying can not network 2 devices that are both set as NAP? Can I overcome this and allow sharing of internet connection which will enable me to monitor what my kid’s do online or will I have to accept defeat and buy wi-fi???

Hello mr.
For sharing internet you have to install a software called BlueSoliel on both of the computers and search computers in that software. after pairing both computers go to the terminal computer. In blue soliel click on personal area network and also on lan access service then a dialup box will appear just click on connect without giving any password it should connect like dialup and an icon will apear on the taskbar. then go to the services menu and click on properties. in the personal networking tab click on the Access internet and select ur device and click ok. then start ur internet explorer and enjoy!

Edited…

Is this legal?
I mean using megaupload to share shareware files?

It’s legal unless specifically prohibited by the manufacturer but, I prefer to get my software from the source. :slight_smile:

I can’t find the freeware here… just the sharewares (trial periods).

Hey Tech no it’s not a freeware program, the link given was for an old version, i only supplied the link to the current versions that’s all. The program isn’t expensive though.
