Re: Yet another Bluetooth w/activesync question

I am also a little puzzled why it works with one device and not the other -
Please make sure that the Treo has BlueTooth enabled and is discoverable.

Here are the 3 steps I follow to get a partnership going:

Step 1 Set up a Bluetooth COM port

1. Open the Bluetooth Devices Control Panel.

2. On the Options tab, select Turn discovery on and Allow Bluetooth devices
to connect to this computer.

3. On the COM Ports tab, click Add.

4. Select Incoming (device initiates the connection) and click OK.

5. Note the number of the COM port that was added. The COM port number must
be no higher than 20.

6. Click OK to close the Bluetooth Devices Control Panel.

Step 2 Set up ActiveSync to use the Bluetooth COM port

1. In ActiveSync on the PC, on the File menu, click Connection Settings.

2. Select Allow connections to one of the following.

3. Choose the COM Port with the number you noted in Step 1 Set up a
Bluetooth COM port.

4. Click OK.

Step 3 Start Bluetooth sync from your device

1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu, then tap Connect via Bluetooth.
