Good morning,
I have recently bought the n800 internet tablet and everything works fine.
Anyway, since I have no wi-fi access point at home, I wanted to connect it to the internet through another pc via bluetooth. I know it is possible to do it with a mobile phone, but how can I set my pc (already connected to ADSL) to let it be used as a modem by the n800?
In other words, how can I set a network in which the n800 is connected to internet via pc, to which it is connected via bluetooth? Are there any programs I have to download?
Thank you.

Thank you.
You can also do this through wi-fi creating an ad-hoc connection and bridging it to the lan connection, wireless NIC's or USB wi-fi adapters are cheap.
