Can you Receive internet from a Usb Bluetooth Dongle?

Apr 19, 2009 by Raymond C | Posted in Computer Networking

For example:
Like most laptops, they have a Bluetooth installed inside. If you were to connect a Bluetooth USB dongle to another PC that has Internet. Are you able to connect from your laptop to that USB dongle to connect your PC to the Internet?

I just want to check before buying a Bluetooth USB dongle.

Yes, you can set up a PAN (Personal Area Network) between two computers, and setting up Internet Connection Sharing on the PC with Internet.
to set up a home network, you can use IVT BlueSoleil.

I have to unplug and plug my Bluetooth USB dongle every time i start my computer?

May 06, 2007 by Kelly C | Posted in Add-ons

I have a USB Bluetooth dongle. Every time I start my computer, my software asks me to insert the Bluetooth Device eventhough it is plugged in. So, I have to unplug it and plug it againg for it to work. When I installed the software it was working fine. After a few weeks, the problem started. I am using Bluesoleil software. Thank you.
Windows XP recognizes the USB device, but my software doesn't do that until I unplug it and plug it again. I Uninstalled and re-installed the software. I didn't work.

Something in the Bluesoleil software got corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall the software that came with the dongle. Did you use a "registry cleaner?" They can easily cause this sort of problems.

Creative ZiiSound D5x

01.06.11

The upcoming Creative ZiiSound D5x has new wireless and modular capabilities.

The successor to the Creative ZiiSound D5 , the D5x looks a lot like the older model, with only minor aesthetic design tweaks, but it has also brought some friends to the table in the form of a modular wireless speaker system.

You can wirelessly connect up to three D5x speakers and the DSx subwoofer for a richer surround sound experience. Coupled with the subwoofer, the sound easily fills a small conference room (or large living space).

Like the D5, the D5x also includes a wireless transmitter that connects to your iPhone or iPod; when you dock your iDevice, the D5x charges it, but you can also easily remove it and use it as a remote control for the speaker.

It is also compatible with Bluetooth devices such as notebooks, smartphones and MP3 players; if it's anything like the D5, you will probably be able to purchase a Bluetooth USB dongle for computers that aren't Bluetooth-enabled.

USB Bluetooth Dongle issue - HotHardware Forums

by varunmehta11

I've bought an ENTER Mini USB Bluetooth ver 2.0 Dongle Adaptor details . It got successfully installed in my pc. When i checked in the Networking tab in Task Manager, the link speed of the Bluetooth Network Connection is showing 1Mbits/sec when connected to my Nokia N73 phone(Bluetooth Ver 2.0). But the Data Transfer speed should be 3 Mbits/sec as both the Dongle as well as the mobile phone are Bluetooth 2.0 compatible. I also checked the data transfer speed manually and it came out to be 0.94 Mbits/sec. How can i make Bluetooth dongle to work as Class 2.0 Bluetooth.
