This process works with win xp/2000 only

1)forget about all supplied bluetooth drivers(mine is the simplest way)
2)install softick (working serial no available IF you guy want (mail me at kiratpandya@gmail.com)
3) connect dongle to pc and wait for it to be auto-installed
4) go to control panel->bluetooth
5) open "com ports" tab and click add
6)select "incoming and click ok
7)close dialogue and exit softic
8) restart softick, rt click on taskbar icon and click activate
9)pair the palm with the computer (if u dun know how, then search on palm.com

ON PALM , open preferences

10)create connection profile
Name - anything
Connect to - pc
via - bluetooth
device - "select your computer here (

11) create a new network profile
service - any
username -<blanck>
password - <unassigined
connection - select the connection name you made in step 1


12) click connect and enjoy WI with full mobility in your house!!!
i would love feedback and any more ques.

btw mochasoft ppp can also be used above (since we are not using usb, but are creating an artificial serial port

will write about that later
