Hi,

anyone who has discovered how to connect to the internet via a pc
with internet connection sharing yet?

Yes, just ran the ics wizard on both machines & connected the two with a
crossover cable...Worked first time...both machines run Win Me

Are you sure? This camcorder hasn't a ethernet connection possibility,
however it uses Bluetooth for external connections So using a
crossover cable isn't appropiate. Running ics can not be done on this
camcorder; it doesn't use a Windows operating system.

The trouble is the functionality of the bluetooth capability of this
camcorder is rather limited. You can use it with a bluetooth-modem,
but I rather use my broadband pc internet connection for it. So I have
to try to link the camcorder with the pc via bluetooth, which works,
but how to setup a connection between the bluetooth part and the
internet part of the pc. I don't think it is possible, but maybe a
clever mind has found a way. Saves money on a bluetooth modem, no need
to use a dial-up internet provider and lots of fun with this function
of the DCR-IP7E Network Handycam. Will also work with a bluetooth
capable mobile-phone, but inside the house I rather use my earlier
mentioned internet connection.

Thanks anyway. Bye for now.

My (limited) understanding is that the camera's designed to pair with a
bluetooth device acting as a modem (such as a Nokia 6310 phone or the Sony
bluetooth modem you can buy as an add-on) for direct Internet connection.
As far as I'm aware you can't connect it to an ethernet network in the way
that you want to.

You're probably right! But it may be possible to mislead the camcorder
further since it is possible to make a bluetooth connection with a pc
with this capability, which also wasn't intended by Sony inc. The step
necessary is to link the existing internet connection of my pc to the
internet function capability of this marvelous camcorder. It will take
some genie I know, but it possibly can be done.

Take care and enjoy. Bye for now.

I've never understood what the big deal is with Bluetooth. When I was
working (up to about two years ago) I used to dial-in to pick up (and
send) my e-mail while commuting using my Nokia 6210 with my Vaio laptop.
The only "extra" I used was a Nokia PCMIA modem card with the other end
just plugged into the bottom of the mobile. Though I've never tried it,
I can't see a problem sending piccies "on the move" simply by either
connecting the camcorder via USB for stills or MPEG-1 e-mail transfer in
this way, or moving the memory stick from the camcorder to the Vaio.

I should perhaps this was with a bog-standard Orange mobile account.

Though the filesize (of DV or MPEG-2) would preclude the transfer by
e-mail, I imagine I could alternatively move the video via firewire to
the laptop and go from there.

I've never encountered anyone who's actually used Bluetooth to send
video or stills from camcorder.

Ah, but how about browsing websites via your camcorder? Now *that*
sounds a really useful function! Which must be why they built it in -
even better than WAP. What will they think of next? Ah - I know -
making movies. That *would* be a useful thing to build in. ;-)

It's more an extra; the main purpose of the Network Handycam DCR-IP7E
by Sony, with it's bluetooth capability, is to send pictures from out
in the field by mobile phone to a place on the internet. Connected to
the internet you can then also send or read an occasional e-mail or
browse a web-site: for the fun of it mainly.

Bluetooth: just another cable gone.

You're right about the rare appearance of this camcorder: it's not
sold to the masses, maybe only to the 'happy few' :).
