Proxy/Bluetooth Advice Needed

Esel · 2004-08-01 15:25:44

Can I run a 2nd PC into ESAT BB using Bluetooth dongles, setting up 1 PC as the proxy? Has anyone done this? Is it difficult to set up? Thanks in advance.

Haven't done it myself, but it should work - you'd get better performance with WiFi, though. The proxy on the BB-connected box can be M$ ICS, a third-party option e.g. Proxy from AnalogX, or if you're using Linux, IP masquerading.

I don't know what you consider difficult, so I can't answer that bit.
