Network access though a Bluetooth Access Point
Authored by: jasont on Apr 22, '04 03:20:39AM

This worked with my belkin F8t030 connected to the lan port of my Airport extreme.

Couple things that might help (esp if setup is web based):
1) If you device can set up automatically connect it w/ ethernet first.
2) connect to the device (if you can't pair because it needs alpha instead of numeric follow step a) and pair it
2a) Hopefully selecting browse bluetooth device all type all devices will show you the name of your device AND it's lan IP
3) Connect to it using the lan IP and make sure all the settings are correct. Also ping something w/ the AP if you can.
4) Quit other running bluetooth items
5) Follow the sets for creating a port (you can recreate later)
6) Accept the port in network preferences and make SURE it is the first port.
7) have show connecting status and status while connected set up then click connect from the menubar.

good luck
