Hi all,
I recently got a BT card for my Palm. Works great with my PC (equiped with a D-Link BT thingy). It syncs well with the BT, and internet sharing was a snap to set up under XP.
Anyway, I go to set it up for the Mac (since Apple says BT for Mac is easier), and its a huge hassle. I finally get the BT Hotsync to work, but its very, very slow.
On top if that, internet sharing is a lost cause. You can't just set it up in the sharing panel of systems pref, but rather you have to disable your Hotsync BT port, run a home brew style script, and even then, its much slower than with the PC. When done, you then have to run another script to shut the whole thing down, then re-enable your BT Hotsync port.
I love my mac, but when something is a ton easier on XP than my mac, and works better to boot, it rumples me.
If anyone has any solutions to the above, please let me know...
Thanks,
Richard
