I have a WiFi system (WAP/Router via Ethernet, always on computer,
DSL, 2 Tera of storage) and am wondering if I can plug one of those
bluetooth dongles into a USB port, bridge (?) that to the net, and
let people with PDA's with bluetooth access the system too.. Any
body do them both at the same time? The people I have talked to have
only done one or the other, I'd like to do em both, or is there a
better way (coworker has a pda with built in bluetooth, would like
to access the DSL/storage/printer etc)...
No manufacturers, no model numbers, you get no specifics.
Thanks for the generic reply, sorry for no specifics.
I was just brainstorming an idea, and your reply says it should be possible
(my coworker has an iPAQ, and the WiFi part took a dump, but the bluetooth
part still works, so the idea was is it feasible to put a bluetooth USB
adapter on the WiFi server, bridge the two networks, and let him still use
the iPAQ to access the network, without a huge repair bill). The one I am
looking at is the Kensington USB Bluetooth 2.0 adapter ($40, repair estimate
on the iPAQ was $280!)
