LOL, Sorry, somewhere along the line I thought you were referring to COM port you can also configure for the BT device in WM6 - as apposed to the COM port settings you are referring to on the PC.
OK then - what are you using for the BT dongle/device on the PC? Is it already configured to pair with something else? Did you break that pair? I recall reading something about some devices not being able to hold a pairing once they notice that another pairing with that device had been established. Dunno for sure. My memories on that are sketchy, but it might be something to concider. HTH On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 4:46 PM, Mike Gill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Well, it's on every tutorial I've read.
