I've done my searches and know how to bond my pc to my phone for a net connection (with opera) but i have my main pc in my livingroom
downstairs (with ADSL) and another pc upstairs (no net connection)

Has anyone tried, or would know if via bluetooth i can use my
p900 upstairs as a modem and browse the net on my pc via
the bluetooth which is way downstairs....(hopefully the bluetooth
will go that far!)

thanx for the help

Bluetooth only has a 10m range and does not really travel thro walls!

That is it only has a 10m range on the P900!

foiled again....

I have heard of this new type of 'bluetooth' thats more advanced
and works over longer distances...shame it's not popular yet.

I thought it may go that far, as its less then 10m, but there
is the celing between us. Must be how it's read as on this page

there is '100/200m' dongles

Thanx for the answer!

If you use the P900 ''Internet'' application (default browser), it can access an HTTP server running on your local PC if you use the addressing "http://wsockhost.mrouter:port/". However, if you address anything else using an http:// URL using that browser it will route that request over cellular.

The Opera browser, however, will route all traffic over the PC connection as long as the PC Connectivity link is active. This means that with no resulting cellular traffic this browser can be used for interacting with ''browser supported content'' on computers in your local LAN (and/or the Internet if you have a direct connection from your LAN) without the need for cellular access. This is attractive to end users in numerous connectivity cases where the P900 can interact wirelessly with client/server based services in your home or elsewhere (remote control, monitoring, download, etc).
