6.5.10 Network Access
Overview
The Bluetooth Network Access application makes it possible for this computer:
• To connect to a Local Area Network from a physical connection on a remote
Bluetooth device.
or
• To connect to an ad hoc network provided by a remote Bluetooth device.
When joining an ad hoc network, it can take up to one minute after the connection
is established to obtain an IP address and automatically self-configure.
The type of network connection that is available is determined by the configuration of the
remote Bluetooth device.
