How do I or can I connect two computers together with bluetooth?
~~Catbird Woman~~ asked:
I have my desktop on internet and I have a laptop. I have a better antenna on the desktop so I can get wireless internet with it, but my laptop can't get any. I was wondering if I can connect the laptop up to the desktop via bluetooth and I could share the internet that way? I do have two bluetooth dongles, so that's no problem on that but I am wondering if I can, how do I do it? Feel free to im me if you know how. Thanks for any information!
My router is quite a distance from the desktop. Until I can get my own dsl, that's how it has to be.
I also realize it will be short range.
It is possible, but remember that some BT dongles are short range and you might not get the portability on your LT that you would like. Or performance would suffer
I would suggest that you upgrade your router to get better range.
