Re: [OT] (ish) - Bluetooth connection for iPAQ?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

I think I just discovered a potential cause of the problem...

The Bluetooth driver installation defined an incoming network connection
object, to which was assigned the two serial ports you describe below...
When I run the Activesync discovery, these two serial ports are reported as
not available, (and I get an error to that effect if I try to select either
of them on the Activesync serial connections settings)

So I'm guessing that the incoming connection item is stopping Activesync
>from

Sound sensible?

Oh, I'm using this dongle:...

Manufacturers' spec here:...

But I don't have the little cradle for it, - got it from ebuyer for a mere
£20

Cheers.
