Hi, Sarah. I am having the same problem. The pc and bn say that I am
paired, but nothing shows up in the mobile directory under my computer. Try
setting the serial port in active sync to com 5. make sure it is also checked.

I'll join in the Bluetooth effort. I am borrowing a Belkin Bluetooth USB
adapter from a friend, and am having trouble getting it to work with
ActiveSync. Both the BN and the PC say they are communicating through
ActiveSync, yet nothing shows up in mobile devices. I don't have KeySync
installed, as MS Office is not on my PC. I only want to use Bluetooth to
exchange files for now. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I hope
I can provide some insight into this situation.
Sarah

Hi, Don. What bluetooth software are you using? The reason I ask is that I
found that with D-link, when you install their drivers, microsoft installs
theirs. This makes the d0link ones not work. They show you on their web
site how to get rid of the microsoft ones that service pack two uses and
use the d-link ones instead. Then, you see something on the desktop called
my bluetooth places that you can bring up and make changes to all of the
services offered.
It looks like they all need to have a virtual com port assigned to them.
I also would like to get this working. Maybe between you, me and Dan, we
can get things going<grin>.
