 Hi,

Can someone explain please how to use the feature of share Internet
connection, assuming I have the pocket PC (mobile 6) connected to Web
via wireless, and to XP machine via BT, and I need the XP to be able
to use the Internet as well

If I'm understanding your request, it doesn't work that way. The internet
sharing app allows the PC to connect to the internet through the device's
mobile telephone data connection- not wireless LAN (WiFi) connection.

If you're trying to use it via your mobile phone data plan, you just select
that as the connection source in the top dialog box and Bluetooth as the
phone-to-PC connection in the lower box. Note, however, that Activesync
must be installed on the XP PC (because the required RNDIS "phone-as-modem"
driver is installed as part of Activesync.)

Minor correction: USB works too.

True, but the OP specifically said he was using BT, so while selecting BT
as a connection method seems obvious, I wanted to eliminate the obvious as
well! Back in my support days, you'd be (horrifically) surprized how many
troubleshooting calls successfully ended with the comically obvious first
and second questions: "1. Is the device plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Is it turned on..." ;-)

OK, I understand now, I was trying to test it before I arrange data
plan with my cellular supplier, I guess I need to do it any how

Cheers
