Advanced Usage:
♦ Computer A is now the center node. Other computers, for example,
Computers C, D and E, can connect to Computer A with BlueSoleil™ following
the same steps as those for Computer B.
♦ Computer A, B, C, D and E can access each other using the Windows
Network Places. This forms a Bluetooth ad-hoc networking environment.
Note: Computer A can currently only support up to 7 connections.
Also it takes about 1 minute before an IP address can be obtained on the client side
(Computer B) unless a DHCP server is running on the server side (Computer A).
