2. On the remote Bluetooth device respond to the Bluetooth Service
Authorization message to allow network access.
3. To establish the connection, Windows uses Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA) to assign addresses to the computers in an ad hoc network. You don’t
need to configure the TCP/IP networking.
To view the APIPA address, type ipconfig at a command prompt, and then
press ENTER. You should get an output that is similar to the following on both
of the Bluetooth devices:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix .:
Autoconfiguration IP Address . : 169.254.125.34
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . :
Once the connection is made, the computers on the same ad hoc network should
be able to locate each other and use the network service such as file sharing.
Accessing LAN or Internet via Remote Computer
When a remote Bluetooth computer is connected to the Internet/LAN and
configured to sharing that connection, your Bluetooth-enabled device can connect
to the Internet/LAN using the remoter Bluetooth computer as the intermediary.
We will use the following example to describe the setup procedures:
Example: BT Client A is physically connected to the Internet/LAN via an Ethernet
network adapter. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled and can connect to BT Client B over
Bluetooth connection. BT Client B will use BT Client A as the intermediary to
connect to the Internet/LAN.
