Why not just network your machines using wifi? It will be MUCH faster. Just hit command + K on your mac and browse for your pc machine.

This page describes it working using Vista and OS X, though I know you're in XP: http://blog.fosketts.net/2008/07/25/...en-pc-and-mac/

Sounds to me like the PB doesn't have WiFi.

Not sure what you want to do really. But if you want, you could start Internet Sharing on your mac and then your pc logs into the mac to use it's wireless internet.

This page shows how to use a PC to allow a PDA to access the internet via Bluetooth. It should work if you just substitute the iPaq for your Mac... http://www.tweaks2k2.com/How_to/bluetooth_network.htm (@natobasso: it's the PC that has WiFi, the Mac only has BT, read the first post...) |
