Network access through bluetooth

Hi.

Is it possible to gain network access through a bluetooth link? I have a Trust Bluetooth gadget in my computer, and I'd like my P800 to access my network and thereby the internet.

Greets,

if you have the P800 software running and the serial port working, you should see the little icon of the P800 on your tray bar.

Once that happens, the P800 has full access to your network through your sync software. Make sure that your personal firewall is not being blocked.

If you get asked to connect to a GPRS account, you can set up a bogus account (I have one named bogus) and "dial" up to that account. Once it dials up that account, you'll see that the phone is able to connect to the network.

Is this connection method only applicable to Opera browser and Webviewer?

Doesn't work with the built in browser?
