Sharing Internet with Palm Tungsten T3 via Bluetooth - possible still?

Ok...I know I'm using legacy technology with the Palm Tungsten T3 and it seems that all discussions online that I've found are out of date. Even Missing Sync's Internet Sharing product is discontinued. But I'm running 10.5 on my MacBook Pro...so I would have thought that sharing via Bluetooth PAN would work.
But could be that Bluetooth PAN is something too new for the T3 to handle. So then am I back to using Terminal to run a separate PPP server for the T3? If that's the case...I guess I can try these instructions from 2003 and 2002:

Sharing Internet with a windows laptop via ethernet on airport express base

Hi
I have a Linksys wireless router which is connected to my G5 Imac, I also have an airport express base station. My wife's laptop does not have a wireless card. Can I plug an ethernet cable into the Airport Express base station and get the laptop connected. What is the best way to configure all this. Help will be much appreciated.
K.

you have 2 choices. Actually three but i would use choice 1.
1. Set-up the Airport station using DHCP to assign addresses dynamically to connected (or wireless users). The computers must be set to DHCP.
2. Set-up using Manual IP assignment.....uhm you have to do it manually. Your laptops must be manually assigned IP address via thier network control panels.
3. The linksys router should do all of the above, but using the Apple software to do the above is easier using set-up assistant.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not have both wireless devices trying to do the same thing at the same time!!
One must be set-up as a dumb router/hub.(see your instructions)
Hope that helps.
Once you are set-up, In order for a PC to sign in, on the Apple base station you have to click on "Password" in the Airport software and have it reveal the "HEX equivalent password (WEP key)" for PC. Your wife would enter this in her PC connection gui.
Hope this helps

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

Sorry. After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear. I don't want to transfer files. I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth. I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong. Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have. Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation. I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work. Thanks!

Sharing Internet with xbox 360

Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

Sharing Internet with another Mac via Bluetooth

I'm trying to help my wireless-less iMac G5 get online. It sits about two inches away from a MacBook Pro on my desk, which connects to the household wireless network via the in-built AirPort card. I'm hoping I can share that AirPort connection via Bluetooth.
Both systems are running Leopard, although the G5 is running a vanilla 10.5.0 install since I can't update without an Internet connection. The MacBook Pro is up-to-date and then some.
On the MacBook Pro, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced, I've checked "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices." Under Sharing, I've turned on Internet Sharing from AirPort to Bluetooth PAN. I've also paired the devices together.
I'm trying to connect from the iMac G5 to the MacBook Pro with "Connect to Network" in the Bluetooth menu. However, it's grayed out. If I do the same from the gear menu in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, nothing occurs.
This seems like a pretty complicated process for a technology that's meant to make networking child's play.

You're making life very complicated for yourself!
1) Bluetooth is far too slow for sharing an internet connection, unless you like accessing the internet at dial-up speeds or less.
2) As the computers are so close, just run an Ethernet or Firewire cable between the two to create a network, and share the internet connection over Ethernet or Firewire.
3) You can easily update the G5 to the latest Leopard by downloading the standalone updater on the internet connected Mac from the Apple web-site, then just copy the Update to the G5 via CD, DVD, USB Disk, Firewire Cable, Ethernet Cable, external hard disk etc...

And how are you trying to do this? Via Bluetooth?
Have you paired the two devices? Does your computer have a BlueTooth radio in it?

Sharing Internet with AirPort

Hello
Okay to start my iMac here is connected directly to a DSL modem with no router through Ethernet. I saw that you can share Ethernet connections and use AirPort to create a Computer-to-Computer network and enable internet connection sharing. Would this work properly with a Windows XP computer with a wireless card in? I want to be able to get that computer on the net.

Yes, but you won't be able to use a password with an XP PC therefore is not recommended.
I would recommend getting a wireless router.

Sharing internet with Windows over AirPort

My G5 tower is connected to typical home router via ethernet. This gives it flawless internet connectivity.
To give better wireless access to mobile devices that come to that room for a visit in the far corner of the house where the G5 is located, I got a used AirPort Extreme card for the G5 and installed it, making sure to attach the antenna connector and small t-shaped external antenna (provided with original G5) plugged in the back.
When I powered the G5 back on, it immediately saw the AE card and told me to review settings and press Apply. Under Network prefs, under "Location: Automatic", I chose "Show: AirPort." An AirPort ID is shown, along with the default setting below: "By default, join 'Automatic.'" I left all other network settings as they are--I am not trying to use AirPort to connect the G5 to the main wireless router, since it already has ethernet.
I went to the "Sharing" pref and chose the third pane under it, "Internet". I configured it to read: Share your connection from built-in ethernet . . . using (checkbox on) AirPort. I clicked on the AirPort options in this same pane, and typed in a network name: "ABC wi-fi". Channel is Automatic, and--to keep things simple for now--I left encryption off. I pressed OK to close that small dialog, then hit "Start" in the Sharing/Internet pane, which makes its status message change to "Internet sharing on: sharing your built-in ethernet connection." Success! Well, no.
The AirPort icon in the menu bar was a blank quarter-pie. So I clicked on it, and saw the "open internet sharing" option. A panel appeared where I could turn airport on. I did. The grayed-out Network line of the pane then showed the name of the network I had created back in the Sharing dialog: "ABC wi-fi." And the signal level indicator shows full power, all to the right. All set? Nope! When I go to my Windows laptop and find this new network, I see two new options: One, strangely, is the "Computer Name" shown in the Sharing pref panel, and clicking on it to connect doesn't work. The other option is the network I actually named and shared, "ABC wi-fi," but when I attempt to connect to it, Windows (actually Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi Connection Utility) insists on stepping me through a series of complex security settings, when it would seem that no security should be required since I didn't enable encryption on the AirPort connection.
Giving up on those security settings, I go back to the Sharing control panel and turn sharing off. I hit the AirPort options button and turn encryption on I leave on WEP 40-bit, which requires me to type in a five character string. I do so. I click OK and restart internet sharing. Again, I am given confirmation of "Internet sharing on: sharing your built-in ethernet connection." I try to connect from Windows again, but am not even presented with the complex security options. It just says "Unable to connect," even though it can clearly see the SSID. I try the same a few more times--no luck. I go get an iPod touch and select the new G5-based network--type in the five characters required for WEP 40-bit, and jump right on. Why can't my Windows 7 laptop connect?

Good advice from rccharles, do try that, but I'm wondering if it might be related to Digitally sign communications, even though this talks about server & connecting the other way...

I cannot connect BB 8520 with external GPS Holux via Bluetooth. Please Help!

I've bought a M1200 HOLUX gps and I'm trying to sincronize it with a Blackberry Curve 8520. The problem is:
- BB finds correctly M1200 via bluetooth, and sincronizes well with the the PIN
- M1200 Holux appears in bold just a few seconds after sincronization.
- But then, M1200 appears only in plain text (not bold) as it's not connected. In the BB options, it doesn't appear the option "Connect" as with the rest of bluetooth devices.
I've tried several times but always happen the same. M1200 is not able to keep the bt connection.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance

Connect 2 Palm TX's via Bluetooth

My wife and I each have Palm TX's. It would be nice to be able to connect the two to each other via bluetooth to exchange information, but I am unable to figure out how. One TX will not see the other in the setup modes, even though it is in discover mode. I was able to see and connect our BT phones, but not between TX's.
Suggestions?
Thanks...Len

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I'm assuming you're trying to make the two a "Trusted Pair", correct? Bluetooth icon, Setup Devices button, Trusted Devices, Add Device.
When device #1 is looking for device #2, change the search criteria at the top of the page to "Nearby Devices".

Sharing Internet with others via AirPort Extreme

Hello!!
I really hope that someone can help me with this!
I have Air Port Extreme in my Mac Pro and I recently set it up so that my girlfriend who has a laptop PC can share my internet connection. My concern is now that anyone in our building can use my connection, right? I've heard something about passwords and things like that. Something about wep passord...
Can someone tell me how I get a password so that not anybody in our building can use our connection?
I really hope to get an answer on this one!!
Cheerz!!

Plug the external hard drive into one of your stationary Macs. On that Mac go to System Preferences-> Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing.
Now you should be able to access that drive from any of your other Macs.

Sharing internet with 2 USB ethernet adapters?

Is it possible to connect the MBA via one USB Ethernet adapter to a LAN and share it with another USB adapter? Basically internet sharing from wired to wired.

...but the only way to know for sure...is to buy a 2nd USB Ethernet adapter which is a waste of money if it doesn't work
I didn't bring it up in the previous post, but since the discussion is going to continue...I would argue that getting a second USB wired ethernet adapter is a "waste of money." Why not get a router? OSX's Internet Sharing turns the Mac into a NAT device. This is the primary function of a typical home router. For about the same price as (or only a few dollars more than) the Apple USB ethernet adapter, you can get a router which will probably provide better throughput performance than Internet Sharing, especially if the machine you're sharing to is doing a heavy download, it likely slow down your machine even if you're not doing anything on the internet. (e.g.: Your Word Processing may will slow down if the other computer starts streaming Netflix.)
You can get small routers, if portability is needed and the 4-port wired switch is not essential. (i.e.: the Macbook has built-in wireless, as does most if not all portable computers.) I got one from D-Link that is the size of a deck of cards and runs off a USB port so no AC power is needed (although an AC adapter is included.) And of course Apple has the Airport Express.
To put it another way: you got a Macbook Air, which doesn't have any wired ethernet ports, but now you want two, and will use up all of your USB ports to do so. One could argue that you got the "wrong computer" for your needs. And even then, I would argue that a router is the "correct computer" to share one wired network connection.
Or can you make the defense and show significant negatives to using a router in your use case. And you have to go beyond price because a wired router is around $50 and often goes on sale for as low as $30, the same as the Apple USB ethernet adapter. And a wireless router is in the $70 range, with sale prices going down to $50. So I argue that a router is a better value.
(edit: for that matter, I forgot to ask, what kind of network connection are you trying to share? If it's like a university or other LAN where you can obtain more than one IP address, then you don't even need a router. A simple hub/switch will do, which I've seen on sale as low as $10, and free when people throw away their old junk. Hmmm, the price of the router could now be $0 if you have a friend that is upgrading their router to 802.11n. )
