The device I suggested will share an Internet (ADSL/Cable) connection 
over Bluetooth. Is this not what you wanted to do? You can not 
currently link all computers as a wireless LAN using Bluetooth - in 
fact you may never be able to do this. Though why anyone would want to 
is beyond me... Bluetooth has a very low bandwidth *upto* 1Mb (which 
translates to about 500-800Kb in the real world - OK for entry-level 
broadband sharing, but next to useless for sharing files as a wireless 
network).

Hope this clears things up a little. Please let me know if I'm getting 
the wrong end of the stick.

Cheers!

Steve
