What you need is a fixed interface on the linux machine (this is the serial/bluetooth/whatchawantit interface) that listens to connecting devices. This side *HAS* a fixed ip that's different from your other ip address (on the interface facing your network), you *will* need to use iptables for routing if you want your PDA to get to the internet this way, but if not, all you need to do is run a dhcp server on the linux machine that's binding to the fixed ip address of the serial/bluetooth interface. No WM device i have seen sofar comes with a dhcp-server, only with a dhcp client. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
