hey all
well im moving my main pc next door as its too much of a distraction with my exams and everything, but i like my music.
so ive managed to get set up a little mp3 player pc.

however, i was wondering if it was at all possible by using 2 class 1 bluetooth dongles, to pair up the 2 pcs, (main rig and mp3 rig) and allow me to use a free vnc program to control the mp3 rig from the main rig to allow me to alter playlists.

is this possible? is bluetooth a 'good' connection to use?

the connection goes across aroun 40m, and goes through...3 walls and one floor. (wooden) or one wall and is outside, then goes in through another wall.

thanx

Not a chance bluetooth could reach that far. Last time I checked it was like 30' with no walls.

You could 2 wifi cards/usb adapters and run them in ad-hoc mode (allowing direct connection between the two)..although, u might still have problems with reception

I tried something like that, room to room. Huge pain in the ass, not worth it.
