Hi, if you want to access the Internet from your phone using your PC's Internet connection. I've got that working on my K850 and Windows XP.

Basically on the K850 you need to go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > My Devices. Here you should Add and Connect to your PC. I think you also have to go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Internet Settings and make sure Allow local conn. is set to On.

On the PC you should turn on Internet Connection Sharing and share your dial-up or network connection.

You should then be able to use your phone's internet browser w/o the Globe icon showing up in the status bar. You should just see an icon that looks like a laptop computer.

I've got this working on Windows XP. Hope this helps you out.

Ok some more details to check and try.

Are you using Windows XP SP2? If so, are you using the bluetooth drivers that came with Windows XP? I'm using a USB bluetooth device (Billionton brand) and I installed the drivers (WIDCOMM 1.4.2.8) that came with it.

On my Windows XP desktop there is a "My Bluetooth Places" icon. This opens up an Explorer-like window and on the left panel I can select "View My Bluetooth services". On the right side a bunch of icons show up and one of them is called "My Network Access". I can right-click and select "Properties". A dialog box pops up and a drop-down selector lets me choose "Allow other devices to access the Internet/LAN via this computer".

Also on your phone go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Network sharing > Workgroup and make sure this is the same as your Windows network workgroup.

I previously used to surf PC Internet on my K810i via Bluetooth and it worked fine. Now i've got K850i and using PC internet via bluetooth on it is quite simple and very useful as it has 160KB/s transfer speed on bluetooth.
(while K810i had only 50-60KB/s)
I'll try to give a briref description how it works on XP (i couldnt get it work on Vista so far).
so here we go
1. Install your bluetooth driver. (i'm using MSI Star Key 2)
2. Go to "My Bluetooth Places" and click on "View My Bluetooth Services".
3. Right Click "My Network Access" and go to properties.
4. Under "General Tab" you'll see "Select the type of service to offer remote devices".
5. Click the down arrow and select "Allow other devices to access Internet/LAN via this computer".
6. Plugin your bluetooth dongle in the usb port and if you dont see "Bluetooth Network" you should enable it in Network Conncections.
7. After that go to properties of your default network (LAN/DSL) and enable connection sharing under "Advanced tab".
(That's all you need to do on your pc).
8. Now come to your K850.
Add your pc to your mobile bluetooth devices by pairing it.
After pairing go to Bluetooth-->My Devices and connect to your pc. If a notification popups on pc then click to allow.
You dont need to create any separate profile. You can use your default profile. All you have to do is
9. Go to connectivity and under "internet settings" set "Allow Local Conn." to "On" (default On).
10. Now under streaming settings in select "Connecting Using" and then select your pc name or select "PanUDefaultAccount". and then allow local connection.
Now whenever you have connected to PC via bluetooth, your pc internet will be used instead of GPRS/EDGE in your internal browser as well as in the Java Applications.
Enjoy and give me feedback.
