Setting up networks
The Network Manager deals with a problem in the
Windows operating system which afflicts users
who use their computer in more than one network.
Imagine e.g. that you want to use a regular
network adapter to connect to a wired local area
network (LAN) and your Bluetooth device to
connect to other computers in a wireless ad hoc
network. Every time you want to change between
the two setups, you would have to change IP
addresses, netmasks, gateways, host name, etc.
You can do all that from the Microsoft Network
Control Panel, but it is a manual, time consuming,
and error prone process.
The Bluetooth Network Manager solves this
problem; you can create network profiles that
memorize your networking setups and allow you
to restore them whenever you need to change
from one network to another. In other words, with
the Network Manager, switching between two
setups is reduced to choosing a network profile
from a menu.
Enabling or disabling the Bluetooth Network
Manager takes place from the Bluetooth Control
Center.
