thanks for the info helio:

I have got is most the way configured but have ran into a slight problem. I
bought a USB bluetooth adapter installed on the laptop today and I enable
internet sharing on the laptop for the GRPS wireless card. however, the
only way I am thus far able to get the ipaq to access the internet via the
grps card (via the laptop) is if I dock it and plug the cradle into the
laptop. if I remove the ipaq from the cradle, then the internet will no
longer work. (I think that tells me the bluetooth network is not configured
correctly).

I keep getting prompted on the ipaq saying I need to set up a proxy server
to access the internet. I can't figure out how to get the notebook to
automatically kick out an IP address to the ipaq. I did try putting in the
ip address of the grps card as the proxy server but it did not work. also,
I am not sure exactly how the enable "PASS THRU" on bluetooth activesync.

thanks for your help, any additional comments are much appreciated.
