Hi,
here is the etc file

# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
#rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
# bind no;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
# device 11:22:33:44:55:66;

#}
No, I just plugged it in and it went.
Didn't follow any guides at all.
A friend from Dunedin was visiting with an early HP laptop, and I
bluetoothed files over to his beast (running 8.04 I think) no problems.
Haven't tried it from windows however.
I notice our rf files are identical.
Could there be an issue with your usb port?
Hope the file helps
Cheers Chris
