How could I go about to connect to the internet using bluetooth from my PC?
I can get the n88 to see my PC as a phone, and I can do the normal transfer files, but can not figure out how to connect to the internet using the PC's bluetooth.

It should be possible, although the only time I have tried it is on a Mac and it worked for a few minutes then never came back to life again.

I want to do the same thing with my work PC. Havent tried it yet, but I think this article makes sense.

cant find anywhere to download the file.
Also it think thats the same as using the phone bluetooth. however if I set my PC up as a phone by enabling dial-up network in the bluetooth setting the n800 sees it as a phone, but the n800 needs carrier settings, name and passwords. So I'm not sure how that would work.
I have network Access also enabled in bluetooth, so on the PC side I'm fine. Its just what do I use and how do I configure the N800?

Scroll down, towards the end of this page, there's instructions for a Windows connection. Not painless.
