I want to set up a little bluetooth LAN say between 4 computers with bluetooth dongles and a pda. I don't know which to use PAN or LAN access profile and I am having trouble setting up both. Someone told me that when your using pan, its not really the same as setting up a network but more like a communication means for all your personal devices. Also is LAN acces profile just for say accesing a LAN rather than setting up a LAN. All the LAN how-to's show how to set up a PPP connection between ur pc and your phone, and that is even causing me trouble. It trys to make a PPP over rfcomm but fails to connect. When I tried setting up a PAN between three computers ( I am using Red Hat9 and the blueZ package for this ) both computers can ping the master but cannot ping each other and the master can only ping one pc, even though it seems that the connection is there and the pc's are beside each other. I assigned the master by un-commenting the config file ( at lm accept, master ). The thing is that I need to run an ad hoc network (AODV) accross this "LAN" and some of the pc's will be out of range with other but have to communicate using neighbouring nodes. I read some where that LAN access profile does not support ad-hoc networks. If anyone can help at all it would be greatly appreciated as i am in dire straits. All the how-to's don't seem to be helping. Thanks, Wadgie. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
