Pocket PC Forum / End Users / Wireless / December 2004syncronizing pocket pc using blue tooth
I've installed the Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter (USBBT100) and it seems to eork fine, the only problem i have is syncronizing my pocket pc through active syncronize (3.7.1) and blue tooth. Active syncronize is just not finding the com port that is available to the adapter, i get the message "microsoft acive syncronize connot open the com port" and then it direct me to the get connected screen which does not list any available com port. You should look at the Bluetooth Driver of your adapter what port is being used for the serial I/O and then set ActiveSync's Connection Settings (from the File menu) to the same port.

I suggest you try to see why the adapter took such high ports (usually it takes COM4/COM5); is it possible that all the other ports are taken ??? If not, try to assign a port lower than COM10 to the Bluetooth Serial, then you will be able to assign this port to Activesync.

I tried everything i know but i still can't change what com port the adapter is assigning (it gives me the options between 10 through 12 only) how can i change that or find out if the other ports are taken (i doubt it) > I suggest you try to see why the adapter took such high ports (usually it > takes COM4/COM5); is it possible that all the other ports are taken ???

All I can think of is to go into the device manager and start deleting all the COM ports there. Then turn on the BT so that it grabs the lowest numbers. Your other devices will likely auto-create their COM ports later if and when you need them.

If you go into the BT setup on the PC and add a COM port manually, does it let you create a lower COM port number?

Go to Control Panel, System, Hardware,Device Manager then expand the "Ports (COM&LPT1) Select the standard serial over bluetooth link (COMXX), double click it to select properties. Click on Port Settings tab then Advance. Bottom left, change the COMXX to COM5 even if it says its in use. OK everything and go into ActiveSynch and select COM5. From what you've said this should sort it but let me know? Brains There is no such thing as "port settings" or advance button in my device manager. > >I've installed the Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter (USBBT100) and it seems to > >eork fine, the only problem i have is syncronizing my pocket pc through [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Brains |
