Bluetooth LAN: issues

[tzitzibp]

I recently bought two bluetooth usb adaptors, one for my pc (always online@10Mbps) and one for my htpc, so that I can use internet from my living room... I managed to get internet streeming as well as file transfer to work. However, quite often the LAN is interrupted and connection is lost, and so I have to re-establish it manually:banghead:.

How can I keep the LAN online,:mad: constantly?

And another issue (I admit ignorance) is the fact that I want to be able to see and have full access, to both pcs and all folders, from one of them. How :mad: am I supposed to do this?

htpc operating system: xp pro sp2 (last update 25/12/2007)

pc operating system : vista ultimate + xp pro sp2 (last update 21/12/2007)

Please help, I beg of you,:respect: HELP !!!!!

How far apart are the computers? Walls in between? Its probably disconnecting because Bluetooth isnt meant to go all that far, nor through walls.

the adaptors are the {LEVEL ONE MDU-0025USB BLUETOOTH 2.0 CLASS 1} 3Mbps over 100 meters.

I use them at a distance of 8 meters with no walls in between.

hmm interesting, your using them @ 8m, so distance isnt the problem, i am thinking it may be a driver problem, try to find an updated driver or a third party one :)

[tzitzibp]

tried it...no update drivers.

In any case, I don´t think it´s a drivers issue cause the link actually works and after about transfering 200 or 300mb of a 700mb movie, it justs stops transfering...:banghead:
No screensavers activated, no schedules programmed.
I actually managed to transfer a :wtf: 2GB folder with no problems, but that was a one off :banghead:

tell me what more info you might want me to let you on and i´ll get it posted!

PLEASE HELP

maybe your overstressing the connection, wireless does the same thing from time to time, especially when i transfer files of around 10gb, and thats with 108mbps super-g,
that might be the problem :(

last time i tried using bluetooth lan it wasn't the most reliable,
only use i have/see for it is file transfer for phones an controlling winamp

[tzitzibp]

ok Maybe I am overstressing the LAN...:(

But how can I have access to the hard drives and folders of the other pc? What is the process I have to follow so that I can open any folder of the other pc?

you could spend 10-25 and get some usb 54g adapters those should work better

I'll probably end up doing that, but I bought the bluetooths just to experiment and learn....

Thanks anyway!
