Re: [maemo-users] How to pair device with Windows XP SP2 for file transfer?

Andrey/Johan,

I should add that the FTP service and server built into Windows Internet Information Server (IIS) is not automatically installed with Windows XP. If you want to install it in Windows XP Professional, log on as a user with administrator privileges and then go to

Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.>Add/Remove Windows Components

and you will see an check box option for installing IIS.

I am not sure if this IIS supported on Windows XP Home.

An alternative, if you have a Samba client installed on the 770 (an assumption on my part that such a client has been ported to the 770) is to enable a file share on your Windows XP system and use the 770  Samba client to browse to the fileshare.

Best Regards,

Best Regards,

Hi Andrey,

What is the way to pair Nokia 770 with Windows XP SP2 using Bluetooth?

It is impossible to pair from Windows because Nokia is not discoverable.
When I tried to pair using Nokia, it said that "Selected phone does not have
services that can be used. Select another phone".
    

The 770 requires that a device which it is pairing with has either 
Dial-up Networking (DUN) or OBEX File Transfer (FTP) profiles in its SDP 
server. In your case you'd want to have a FTP service record on your 
windows machine. Why it's not there (maybe you forgot to enable ftp 
support) or how to get it there I cannot answer (and it also depends on 
which bluetooth host stack you're running on your PC).

You can make the 770 discoverable (until the next reboot) by installing
xterm, becoming root and issuing the command "hciconfig hci0 piscan", 
though that wont help you to get FTP working if the PC doesn't have a 
service record for it.
