Hi,
I have a desktop and a laptop (Both Vista), both with USB Bluetooth Dongles installed. I have a Wireless Router, The Laptop has a Wi-Fi Card, however signal strength is poor. My Desktop has a USB Wi-Fi Adaptor, on a USB extension cable, to get reasonable signal strength to the router, (My house has a thick wall going through the middle where the chimney breasts are, which blocks alot of the signal) The router is one the other side of this wall.

They are both connected to eachother via PAN, so i can share files between the two.
But i would like to connect my laptop to my desktop using bluetooth, and be able to use my desktops internet connection on my laptop.
Is this possible, and how would i do it?

Thanks alot,
Mark

As far as I know bluetooth has much lower range compared to wifi, so not sure you would benefit.
