Bluetooth problems

[Morgan Bo Borgan]

I can't get my T3 to communicate with my laptop.

I have bought a USB Bluetooth dongle so that I can connect to the internet using my palm, through the laptop.

I have the latest version of BlueSoleil. I installed it, but have never been able to run it, it always comes up with an error message, (the one where it says it needs to close).

I do have bluetooth on the laptop though, through the dongle. I know I do because I can send files FROM the laptop TO the palm. This works fine.

I can't connect the two.

I have gone through the Passkey thing, and I know the palm is trying to communicate with my laptop, because when I 'Show Bluetooth Devices' so I can see all Bluetooth devices, it's there, (I know this means it hasn't connected, opr is connecting), but I know the palm connects because when I go Connect to bluetooth network on my palm, the status on the 'PALM' device, flickers from Pass Key Enabled, to something else, it happens to fast for me to see.


Anyway, I know this hasn't made perfect sense, but I hope someone out there is able to help me...

If you have XP on your laptop it could be this issue again:

Follow the instructions (renaming the file Bth.inf) and re-install your bluetooth software.

This page probably has the best how-to. I've been able to make it work on Windows XP and even Win2K server.
