Network via bluetooth?!?!

[chriscool9]

Hey guys,
               How are we all? Ok well basically im just wondering is it possible to have a network sorta thing via bluetooth? For example ive already got one bluetooth dongle in the laptop, would it be possible to buy anther, stick it in the back of the P.C and then transfer data, music, pictures etc etc via the dongles??
Thanks

Isn't that what Bluetooth is meant for?  :-?

Ok guys scrap that question i gave you, i know the awnser, its yes. Ok well i have naother one. Whilst using a program i use to manage my Sony Erriccson W810i i reaslied it wasnt connecting, its becuase im not using the cable but im using the bluetooth. So on the Microsoft 'Help and Support'  I searched for how to configure my bluetooth with my laptop. So basicaly it tells me to click on this link which is labled 'Bluetooth Devices' which is also acessable in te controll pannel, but when i click nothing happens, and when i go into the control pannel its not there! So basicaly what im asking is, where can i find this 'Bluetooth devices' ?!?!
Thanks

You might need to install the drivers that came with the Bluetooth device.

OR perhaps you can find them under "Wireless connections" in the control panel where you can also configure Infra-red.

I have installed the drivers.
As for the second one i cant find 'wireless connections'. But when i goonto 'Netowrk Connections it finds a Bluetooth DUN Connection (which is dial up apparently). It also finds local area conenction 3, which is my bluetooth as well. So has it done what 'Bluetooth Devices' would have done for me anyway, had i had the chance to find it?

Yey problem basically sorted. All i gotta do is on my bluetooth dongle software I connect to the phone and then the software I use then picks it up on COM 9 or something. Thanks alot though Raptor, its apprecaited
