It can be done, but it's not intuitive. You see, the Windows XP Bluetooth
stack can only be a client in a Bluetooth Personal Area Network. Lucky the
HP software used on its Pocket PC can be a server on a PAN. So you can
bridge the LAN and Bluetooth connections on your computer, and then connect
it to your Pocket PC. Should work ok, providing your firewall doesn't block
things.

You might want to download and install VxUtil on your Pocket PC to test the
conneciton, see the IP information, etc...
