The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
You cannot use bluetooth to connect to the internet!!!!!! Routers allow you to access your internet connection (be it DSL or Cable) thru wired (802.3) or wireless (802.11a/b/g) network, none supports bluetooth connection.
You can still use bluetooth to netwrok 2 computers thou it is much much slower than wired or wireless, or you can use bluetooth to comunicate with a pda or cellphone or to use a bluetooth mouse (those last 3 are the most common uses of bluetooth technology)
Bluetooth is a PAN - Personal Area Network - as in, other devices connect to your computer. Can't use it for wireless internet. It is for keyboards, mice, PDA's, etc.
With a wireless card - WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network - that is how you connect to a wireless access point/router.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
