if your pc is reasonably new then it maybe supported on the motherboard alternatively you can purchase a bluetooth dongle that you put into one of the usb ports and this can then be used, if you have windows xp it will recognise the dongle as soon as it is put in the spare usb port

How to setup your Bluetooth network! \n\nFrom now on I'm going to assume your running XP and have WIDCOMM Bluetooth software installed and setup correctly on your PC. If you are not running XP with WIDCOMM Bluetooth software, shame on you, but this guide should still help you.\n\n Pair your iPAQ and home PC. \nOpen the Bluetooth manager on your h2210 and select "Tools" -> "Paired Devices" -> “Add”. \nClick the Search Icon. Your home PC should appear in the Browser, select it. \nEnter any numerical passkey. Remember this key, your PC will ask you for this now. Enter the passkey on your PC. Your devices should now be paired. \nSetup Network Access between your PDA and PC (Bluetooth Network) \nOpen the Bluetooth manager on your h2210 and select "New" -> "connect". \n(Important!) Select "Explore a Bluetooth device". Click “Next”. (Here most people select “connect to the internet", THIS IS WRONG!) \nTap “Tap here to choose a device”. Select your home PC’s icon. (You should see a red check mark on your PC icon. If you do not, the device in not paired correctly. \nThe wizard will now query your PC for the enabled services that are currently running. Select “Network Access”. Tap “Next”.  You will see “Shortcuts created”, tap “Finish”. (If Network access is not an available service, you must enable it on your PC. Consult the documentation for your specific device). \nYou will now have a Network Access Icon in your Bluetooth My Shortcuts tab in the Bluetooth Manager. This is where you will connect to your network. Tap and hold the Network Access Icon and select “Connect”. You should see the Connectivity Icon on the iPAQ Start Bar state you have a network connection by displaying an icon with 2 opposite facing arrows without the “x” that is normally displayed. You can also verify this on your PC by checking the status of the Bluetooth Network Icon in your system tray. (You should now have an established Bluetooth network connection, but will probably still not be able to access the internet. We will get to that soon) \nBefore going on disconnect your PDA from your PC. Tap and hold the Network Access Icon and select “Disconnect” \nSharing your internet connection with your Bluetooth network. \nConfigure the Bluetooth Network Access Service on your PC to allow internet access. (Most people miss this important step.) \n                                                              i.      Right click on the Bluetooth Icon in your system tray and select “Advanced Configuration”.\n\n                                                            ii.      Select the tab “Local Services” and highlight the “Network Access” service. Select “Configure”\n\n                                                          iii.      Check the box “Allow connected devices to access the Internet”\n\n                                                          iv.      Select “OK”. Select “OK” again on the Advanced Configuration dialog Box. You should see a popup box displaying “Configuring your settings”\n\nIf your PC connects directly to the internet and you DO NOT have a router or server running DHCP on your network, follow these steps to enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). If you DO have a device running DHCP, skip these steps and move on to section 3.C to “Bridge” your networks. \n                                                              i.      Open up the “Network Connections” panel on your PC by right clicking “My Network Places” and selecting “Properties”.\n\n                                                            ii.      Right click on the icon that represents your connection to the internet and select “Properties”.\n\n                                                          iii.      Select the “Advanced” tab. Check the box “Enable Internet Connection Sharing”. Your PC will

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers and digital cameras via a secure, low-cost, globally available short range radio frequency.\n\nThe name Bluetooth was born from the 10th century king of Denmark, King Harold Bluetooth who engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other. The inventors of the Bluetooth technology thought this a fitting name for their technology which allowed different devices to talk to each other

No bluetooth is different then wireless.  Bluetooth is relatively short range and you have to give permission to make a connection. I have Bluetooth on my Palm and my notebook.

For establishing connection using dail-up with bluetooth devices follow the below steps:-\n\nStep1:check that both the bluetooth devices(pc & phone) are  turned on and set the discovery of phone bluetooth to show to all.\n\nStep2:first check that the web in the mobile device is working properly.\n\nSteps3:If working properly on mobile.Than go to control panel in the computer & select phone&modem option->select modem tab->select your devics from the list->then set the propeties to dail-up network.\n\n      If there is any further problem the contact on my e-mail ID.\n\n      I have suffered from these problems many times.\nBye.

Bluetooth applications\n\n    * Wireless control of and communication between a cell phone and a hands free headset or car kit. This is the most popular use.\n    * Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.\n    * Wireless communications with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard and printer.\n    * Transfer of files between devices via OBEX.\n    * Transfer of contact details, calendar appointments, and reminders between devices via OBEX.\n    * Replacement of traditional wired serial communications in test equipment, GPS receivers and medical equipment.\n    * For remote controls where infrared was traditionally used.\n    * Sending small advertisements from Bluetooth enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth devices.\n    * Wireless control of a games console, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 will both use Bluetooth technology for their wireless controllers.\n    * Sending commands and software to the LEGO Mindstorms NXT instead of infrared.\nBluetooth is in a variety of new products such as phones, printers, modems, and headsets, to name a few. Bluetooth is acceptable for situations when two or more devices are in close proximity with each other and don't require high bandwidth. Bluetooth is most commonly used with phones and handheld computing devices, either using a Bluetooth headset or transferring files from phones/PDAs to computers. Since Bluetooth uses short-range radio frequencies, it is not as effective for setting up networks that can be accessed from remote locations as with Wi-Fi.\n\nBluetooth also simplified the discovery and setup of services. Wi-Fi is more analogous to the traditional Ethernet network, and requires configuration to set up shared resources, transmit files, set up audio links (e.g. headsets and hands-free devices), whereas Bluetooth devices advertise all services they actually provide; this makes the utility of the service that much more accessible, without the need to worry about network addresses, permissions and all the other considerations that go with typical networks.
