Hi
I have windows xp sp2 installed and I have the sp2 bluetooth driver working
fabulously. It works with my phone for dialup, it works with my bt mouse. IT
does not however work with my pda. I'm trying to setup a com port as
incoming.
I have setup erased, resetup erased several times the connections available.
I have set up com port 9 and com port 8 as incoming. If I open bluetooth
settings Com8 and Com9 are listed as Incoming, the names are empty though.
When I try to use my pda to look for services available on my laptop, no
services list...
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you so much

If you have set COM8 for incoming you should have Activesync's connection
settings set for COM8 as well. Did you do that?

To make things easier make you have only ONE incoming port.

Also, make sure the XP SP2 firewall is disabled or allowing traffic for
ActiveSync and for Bluetooth.
