you need to also install bluetooth on your PC. Setup the bluetooth service for internet/network sharing.

its probrobly better to setup WIFI on the pda if its capable.

Depends on the make of phone. If it's a Nokia then you should have received a disk with Nokia PC Suite on it & you can set up your phone as a modem using this (you can also download it from the Nokia website). You'll get the option to choose connection type - you want bluetooth, & then there's a facility for installing the phone as a modem Worked for me but if it's another make of phone I can only assume there must be a similar system.
