For your network will be great solution with PAN network. You will setup one computer like a "master". pand --listen --master --role=NAP Other computers and PDA will be a "slaves". Maybe this document is best for you: http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~cclljj/interest/notes/bluez/pand_bridge_nap.html > Also is LAN acces profile just for say accesing a LAN rather than setting > up a LAN.

If you have devices in same address space, you will need to configure bridge on master. If you have devices in different address spaces, you will need to setup default gateway on slaves and enable routing in kernel on master: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But I don't have experience with more than two devices.
