ATTN: Android peeps who know more than I do
Posted: 2012-01-09 08:33am
I have an HP Touchpad, running Android 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 3.5, specifically). I would like to connect it to my Windows 7 PC as a Bluetooth PAN client, such that I can get Internet through my PC's LAN connection (my wifi signal's terrible) and have a more reliable connection to use with Splashtop. How exactly can I go about doing this, if it's possible?
Google got me nothing that works (usually suggestions to use PDANet or the like to do the opposite of what I want to do), including one page describing how to connect to a Windows Mobile phone as a PAN client by typing some commands in the terminal emulator, which didn't work (Failed to open control socket: Protocol not supported, it said).
I have root, so if a working method requires some terminal work as superuser, it's not an issue.
