Hi all.

I have a question that I am sure has been asked before, yet I can't find any solutions on here.

I have a 1Mb NTL BB connection. This runs to a wired router and then serves 2 main PC's in my house.

I also have a laptop and would like to "roam" and use the net. i.e. When I'm in bed, out in my shed or generally where going to one of the main computers is inconvenient.

I have a "100 meter" Bluetooth dongle on one of the computers and have another dongle on the laptop.

I have succeded in creating a Personal Area Network and would like to have it included in my LAN but the types are different. e.g. LAN has 192.168.x.x and PAN has 169.254.x.x

Is there any way I could either bridge these network types or make the bluetooth one be recognised with a proper LAN IP address.

Many Thanks.
