Hi, I just got a new PC with XP and am attempting to link
my iPAQ 2210 via Bluetooth to it. However, when
following the instructions to set up the bluetooth
connection, I need to enable Internet connection
sharing. The problem is, I don't see that option in my
Network properties. The Local Area Connection only has
the Internet connection firewall option.

Is there something basic not set up? I can't find any
info on why this occurs when searching the net and I
would appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hello DH
Is your firewall disabled? If it is not, this would keep the option from
being listed.
Also
See this paste for reference

*The ICS option only appears when all of these are true:

1. There are two enabled, connected network connections: one for the
Internet, and one for the LAN.

2. The Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on the LAN connection.

3. The Internet connection isn't bridged.*
