You need a bluetooth dongle, this is what i used, am sure it will work with any bluetooth dongle, i used this one bc it has a small footprint for my old labtop

one more thing , this setup does not have long range, it says up to 100m(330ft), but its realy up to maybe 30-40 feet.

Good to know thanks.

Just one advisory here, please do not try and do firmware updates over Blue tooth, you may end up with a blue screen and the need for the fujitsu reload tool. But other than that this is great info thanks for sharing

Understanding all this...

I have the PIII coming. Can't we use the USB port with a USB wireless adaptor to access the system through the webserver? Or do we have to have dedicated Wired Lan connection?

Thanks!

You have to use the lan port the USB is not connected to the webserver hardware.
