Internet Access on Your Laptop with a Bluetooth by Rohan786 2014/03/15 11:45
1) Activate Bluetooth on your mobile phone (usually found under the Settings menu) and set your phone to be discoverable or visible to other Bluetooth devices.
On the PC, find your Bluetooth program manager (in Windows XP and Windows 7, look under My Computer > My Bluetooth Connections or you can look for Bluetooth devices in the Control Panel; on a Mac, go to System Settings > Bluetooth).
In the Bluetooth program manager, select the option to add a new connection or device, which will make the computer search for available Bluetooth devices and find your phone.
When your cell phone appears in the next screen, select it to connect/pair it to your laptop.
If prompted for a PIN code, try 0000 or 1234 and enter it on both the mobile device when prompted and your computer. (If those codes don't work, look in the information that came with your device or do a search for your phone's model and the words "Bluetooth pairing code".)
When the phone has been added, you will be asked what service to use. Choose PAN (Personal Area Network). You should then have a working Internet connection.
Tips:
If you can't find the Bluetooth program manager, try looking under Programs > [Your Computer Manufacturer's Name] > Bluetooth, as your system may have a special Bluetooth application.
If you aren't prompted on your laptop for the type of service to use with your Bluetooth phone, try going into the options menu of your Bluetooth application to find that setting.
If you own a BlackBerry, you can also try About's Cell Phone Guide's step by step guide to using your BlackBerry as a tethered modem or my USB- and Bluetooth-friendly cell phone tethering instructions for each major mobile carrier in the U.S..
What You Need
Bluetooth-enabled cell phone
Bluetooth adapter (built-in or external dongle) for your laptop
Data plan from your mobile provider
