Bluetooth Networking problem

[Stan Brook]

Hi Guys, I hope someone here can help - I don't think I'm being dumb, but here goes!

I have an Ipaq, a laptop a few PC's and a Wired Broadband Router. I have a couple of Bluetooth Dongles, so would like to expand my home LAN so the Ipaq and laptop can surf wirelessly.

Here is where I am at...

My LAN in 10.0.0.*
My Router is 10.0.0.2
My Windows2000 Server (Ethernet) is 10.0.0.1 - Gateway 10.0.0.2
(Bluetooth) is 169.254.70.207
My Laptop is 169.254.70.208 - Gateway 169.254.70.207
My PDA is 169.254.70.209 - Gateway 169.254.70.207
The DNS server on all is set to 10.0.0.1

I Have told the broadband router to route any traffic for 169.254.0.0 to 10.0.0.1
I have installed Routing and Remote Access on the 2000 server and I think its configured OK

The Facts...

From anywhere on my 10.0.0.* LAN I can ping the laptop or PDA.
From the laptop or PDA I can ping anywhere on my 10.0.0.* LAN
From the laptop or PDA I can ping the public address of my broadband router
From the Laptop or PDA I can ping www.apple.com etc - DNS is working as it resolves the address and Routing & Remote Aceess routes the packets too - as far as I can see all is well.

Here is the problem - no internet on either laptop or PDA. When I say no internet - that's not exactly true - Google works! I know what you may be thinking - its cached - but no, I can perform random searches and get the results but cannot go to any of the results pages? Whats up with that?

I have tried typing the URLs, typing the addresses - nothing works, yet any machines on the 10.0.0.* LAN can go anywhere on the internet.

I've run out of ideas (and patience)

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks Anyway, but I sorted it - got a clue from a different topic

The difference between the MSS size and the MTU size in my router was too small to allow the extra headers - lowered the MSS and increased the MTU - hey presto - everything works!
