hmmm... i've never tried to use WinXP as *server*. the LAN client should
work just fine.

perhaps you need to setup PPP server on WinXP's virtual serial port that 
assigned to LAN service. i have no idea how to do it. what does

# sdptool browse <WIN_XP_BDADDR>

say? does WinXP advertise any services? could you please send me the output?

great. please let me know if you have any problems.

just for the fun could you please try to setup LAN connection between WinXP
(server) and Win98 (client)? i'm curious if it even works at all.

thanks,
