    No sharing tab to enable ICS with Bluetooth

    Hi all, I have a Palm TX smartphone which I usually connect Via Bluetooth with my Windows Vista laptop. I was thinking to share my PC internet connection to Palm TX over Bluetooth. I read somewhere that this can be down by enabling ICS. Well I tried doing the same but I found that there is no “sharing tab” on my ICS. In troubleshooting I found such problem may occur if I have only network interface but I have TWO, which is Ethernet adapter and Bluetooth adapter. Then what else could be the cause of problem?

    Do anyone of you here have any idea how can I get ICS enabled? Many thanks for all your helps.

    I wish I would have helped you but the info provided is not enough to get the problem cause. Can you just send the complete report of “ipconfig /all”?

    Re: No sharing tab to enable ICS with Bluetooth

    Ok, I found your problem. Its Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network Connection doesn't have IP address. Just check out this webpage http://www.howtonetworking.com/Windows/ics.htm. It has the complete step by step process of enabling ICS successfully.
