You should use ICS. Check our Bluetooth Guides for instructions on how to
connect the Palm. It sounds like the Bluetooth is already using the correct
address, but some other device (the router?) is using the 192.168.0.1... Can
you change your network?

If not possible to use ICS, then try using MochaPPP via a serial
connection - the same one used by Hotsync though.
