Chapter 6 Configuring The PC
6.1. Overview
These instructions will help you configure each of your computers to
communicate with the Bluetooth PAN Router. To do this, you will need to
configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address
automatically. Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other
across a network or the Internet. You will need to know which operating
system your computer is running, such as Windows 98, 2000, or XP. You can
find out by clicking the Start button and then selecting the Settings option (If
your Start menu does not have a Settings option, you’re running Windows
XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start Menu). Then,
click Control Panel and double-click the System icon. Click the Cancel
button when done. Once you know which Windows operating system you are
running, follow the directions below for your computer’s operating system. If
your PC is not configured with the TCP/IP protocol, you will need to do this for
each computer you are connecting to the Router.
The only Bluetooth PAN profile in PC side provided is from IVT Inc. and
Widcomm, so you need to follow the instructions of IVT BlueSoleil or BTW
and BTWCE product to setup the BT Network Adapter for later configuration.
The next few pages will tell you, step by step, how to configure your TCP/IP
settings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once
you've configured your computers, continue to “Chapter 6: Configuring The
Router.”
6.2. Configuring Windows 95, 98, and Millennium PCs
1.Click the Start button, click Settings and open the Control Panel. From
there, find the BT Network Adapter connection and double-click the icon
to open the Network screen.
2.Select the Configuration tab and highlight the TCP/IP line for the
applicable Ethernet adapter. If the word TCP/IP appears by itself, select
that line. (Note: If there is no TCP/IP line listed, refer to your Ethernet
adapter’s documentation to install TCP/IP.) Then click the Properties
button.
3.Click the IP Address tab and select Obtain an IP address automatically.
4.Click the tab and verify that the Installed Gateway field is blank. Click the
OK button.
5.Click the OK button again. Windows may ask you for the original Windows
installation disk or additional files. Supply them by pointing to the correct
file location, e.g., D:\Win98 (This assumes that “D” is the letter of your CDROM drive).
6.If Windows asks you to restart your PC, click the Yes button. If Windows
does not ask you to restart, restart your computer anyway.
Repeat steps 1 - 5 for each PC on your network.
6.3. Configuring Windows 2000 PCs
1.Click the Start button, click Settings and open the Control Panel. From
there, double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon. This will
display the Network screen.
2.Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Bluetooth
Network adapter (usually it is the second Local Area Connection listed
instead of the default adapter after you installed the BT driver). Doubleclick Local Area Connection and click the Properties button.
3.When the Local Area Connection Status screen appears, click the
Properties button.
4.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
5.Select Obtain an IP address automatically and verify that Obtain DNS
server address automatically is selected. Then, click the OK button and
click the OK button on the subsequent screens to complete the PC’s
configuration.
Repeat steps 1-5 for each PC on your network.
6.4. Configuring Windows XP PCs
The following instructions assume you are running Windows XP’s default
interface. If you are using the Classic interface (where the icons and menus
look like previous Windows versions), please follow the instructions for
Windows 2000.
1.Click the Start button, open the Control Panel. Click the Network and
Internet Connections icon. Then click the Network Connections icon to
display the Network screen.
2.Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Bluetooth
Network adapter (usually it is the second Local Area Connection listed
instead of the default adapter after you installed the BT driver). Doubleclick Local Area Connection and click the Properties button.
3.When the Local Area Connection Status screen appears, click the
Properties button.
4.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
5.Select Obtain an IP address automatically and verify that Obtain DNS
server address automatically is selected. Then, click the OK button and
click the OK button on the subsequent screens to complete the PC’s
configuration.
Repeat steps 1 - 5 for each PC on your network.
6.5. Configure Widcomm BTW
The Bluetooth Software makes it easy to join an existing personal network,
hosted by another Bluetooth device (PocketPC, desktop, etc.). From the My
Bluetooth Places, choose Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and select the
Bluetooth device that you want to establish a PAN connection and double
click the device icon.
It will list out all the available services of this device. Select the NAP Service.
Right click the NAP Service and select "Connect to Network Access Point"
and your PC will get an IP address from the Network Access Point.
At this moment, you might be prompted to enter the IP network settings. If this
is the case, choose "Obtain an IP address automatically" from your
Bluetooth Network TCP/IP setting.
