hi,

I'm trying to get my pda and laptop to talk to each other. I have coded up a chat server client that works over tcp/ip but i can't seem to get it working with bluetooth. It works on my machine when the client and the server are on the one machine. I have tried to use the laptops ip address but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Have you set up PAND/BNEP so that you can run TCP/IP over a Bluetooth link? Your PDA will need to support this, as well.
