Is it possible to connect to W-Lan with Bluetooth with my Tungsten?
If so what programs do i need?
Price does not matter!

Could you describe what you mean by the term W-Lan? If you mean WiFi (802.11b) then you need a gateway like PicoBlue, or a (slower) USB solution like the Belkin dongle + MochaPPP.


If price is no object then go with PicoBlue (www.pico.net). Street price for their access point is about $430.

All you'll need next is a router between your PicoBlue network and your WiFi network. In my case, I'll use my W2Kserver which has a PCI WiFi card in it already. Using the Belkin solution, I would attach it to the server and run MocaPPP to provide a network. Then I'd route between it and the WiFi network using the server. With the PicoBlue solution, I'd connect it to a wired ethernet card in my server then do the routing the same way.

I was hopeing to connect to the exsisting WiFi (801.11b) with bluetooth!
Maybe there a palm-program that could "make" the bluetooth signal to a WiFi (801.11b) signal. (I think that is what i think..)

Sorry, I don't know of any bridge level devices that can do as you say. You'll have to route to convert one protocol to the other.
