Hi Everyone

Many thanks to those who offered suggestions for this problem I have with hotsyncing my T3 with the powerbook. After much ringing around and trying out various suggestions I seemed to have come to no-go but with a situation I dont understand. I have two powerbooks, both 15" with 10.3.3 and Palm desktop 4 installed. One works (PB1), and the other does not (PB2)!!

There is one major difference when in the Hotsync setup software on each machine and defining the connectin settings. On PB1 I am presented with a screen that has the selection of the connections including the "bluetooth pda sync port" with associated port icon. On PB2 it shows "bluetooth pda sync" modem with icon, not the port icon. I then highlight each and click on 'settings'. On PB1 there is a pull down menu asking to select serial or modem. The serial selection has various speeds to choose from. The modem selection has a long list of modems.

On PB2 there is NO pull down menu, only a list of modems to choose from? No serial port and speed choice? So I cant select a serial bluetooth port for the sync process.

There is the bluetooth serial utility which enables a port to be defined. I did this, and the pull down menu and choice became available. But still there is no synching. Within the utility I can click on the port already defined and a message appears saying I cant edit it because it is in use. With what? I have no other devices attached.

Is there some way of checking all ports to see what is applied to this port? Im completely confused now.

kind regards and many thanks
