Network Access
The Bluetooth Network Access service enables a remote Bluetooth device to access a Local Area Network
that is physically attached to this computer or allows a remote device to become part of an ad hoc network
provided by this computer.
After this computer has been configured to provide the Network Access service to other Bluetooth devices, it
will not be able to use the Bluetooth Network Access service provided by another Bluetooth device without
being re-configured. In other words, this computer cannot be both a Bluetooth Network Access server and a
Bluetooth Network Access client at the same time.
