    Do you mean the wifi or a 3G connection that your trying to share? What PDA do you have that does not have wifi in it, thought that would be pretty standard?

    Yes, share the Wifi connection of my Nokia E51 with an Ipaq 2210 via BT.

    NOT ;) ...
    Good question though: what pda is it?
    Also: op, are you aware of wifi cards for pda's/ppc's? I used to use one with a palm treo that pops into the memory card slot and gives it full wifi usability...

    Another point could be the age and bt-version of your mystery pda... Speeds might be underwhelming?!
    Anyhoo... Specifics, man, specifics! Hahaha

    i think it might be possible. I remember coming across an app that claimed to share connections recently.. I had no use for it so i didnt save the link or app.. You might find it google tho..
    Can your pda connect to the internet via bluetooth?

    I wonder if you mean joikuspot or walkinghotspot? That'd require both devices to have wifi! His problem afaik is different and there's no app to solve it. He's gotta pair the devices in the right way, and if we only knew what pda he has we'd all be wiser ;)

    Ipaq 2210, as specified in msg #3.

    I tried an SD Wifi card a couple of years ago but firmware of the Ipaq didn't support that particular model.
