Can a usb blue tooth thing be used to broadcast the internet? The reason i ask is I have a computer hard wired to the internet and i have a palm pilot that i want to connect to the internet with. is it possible to broadcast the internet from the desktop to the palm pilot ?

at a quick glance it looks liek you have to be connected to the PC via bluetooth as you would if you were synching and then you should be able access the internet.

the only way to set it up is a PAN, personal area network. those guides are a really good find aswell!
