Network map?

I'm such a newbie but could this be why my vista laptop couldn't find connect to my desktop which uses xp?

Oh well I'll give it a check, I've been dying to config the bluetooth adapter to allow internet access but the internet never feeds through and it's darn annoying. lol

I must say I did not try that update...
Everything worked for me after few tryouts. It's important to set identical workgroup name on both computers. And shared folders on both computers.
And turning off "simple file sharing" helps alot

Thanks for the information buddy.

Cheers again.

hmm, you are trying to connect two PC's via bluetooth? I heard about connecting mobile phone with pc, but never connecting two PC's. I mean, bluetooth is damn slow.
Why don't you use wireless connection instead?

That's the route I might take, although I haven't considered buying a router as of yet.

I'm currently using a laptop with bluetooth pan networking (internet connection). It's pretty fast, I haven't noticed any difference in speeds compared to my desktop

hmm, I never tried that.

I use bluetooth to connect mobile phone to my PC. It takes forever to transfer few songs (mp3) to my PC, or vice versa.
But we are probably talking about different bluetooth devices.
