I've been trying to share my broadband Internet connection with a Palm PDA over Bluetooth using this guide. I can get it to connect, but when I try to browse the web on the Palm's Web Pro application, I get the error:

"DNS lookup timed out. Please check coverage, and try again. [Comm. 8]"

My Mac connects to the Internet via AirPort and the AirPort Express base station is connected to a router. The Palm is a Tungsten T3.

The guide says that this error is caused by not having ICS enabled, but it definitely is enabled. I've tried it with AirPort to AirPort and even Ethernet to Ethernet/AirPort, with no success.

What settings exactly should I be using?

I have the same problem with my zire 72s, both with bluetooth and the wifi card. It's been over a year since I started trying to figure this problem out, but I'll still pick it up every once and a while a try again.
I hope someone can help ;-)
