Asus A636N bluetooth activesyncing with Vista laptop - Networking

Hi,
I have been unable to connect my PDA with my new laptop using bluetooth.
the laptop recognises the PDA is trying to communicate but asks for a password which I have not set up, so it doesn't link.
I am unable to get into the PDA for set up a new sync file (even with the two units connected via USB).
I know the comm ports are different on the two units but cannot change them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Pam

how to connect to lan via usb/serial cradle?

Hi everybody,
I've a Qtek2020 smart phone. I would like to access my lan' pc from my PDA when it is connected to serial/usb cradle.
I can ping the pc to wich the pda is attached and I can open in internet explorer a page served from the pc IIS server. But my problem is that the PDA identifies itsel with the same IP address of the host pc (the pc connected to my pda)
Is there a way to let the PDA be connected via ActiveSync/serial/usb cable to the host and receive an unique IP address??? This way I will be able to send TCP/IP data to the PDA .I need this because I've a software that act as a server that need to be installed to the pda and must reply to requests that come from lan' pc.
The host pc has winXP pro. I've tried to create an "incoming connection" on this machine that accept connection on the COM2 port, using the wizard that is usually used to direct connect 2 pc via direct serial cable.
This way i think I need a special software to be installed on pda....
Any help???
Thanks a lot for any suggestion

BT Activesync "No Partnership"

Trying to BT AS from my JasJar to my PC.
PC has activesync service setup on COM6
AS is listening on COM6
JasJar has outgoing COM set to 4
When I start a BT sync reports "Cant find existing Bluetooth Partnership that supports activesync." and asks for a search.
Run through the wizard and select my PC and its serial port. After finishing device will not start a connection.
Go back to activesync and try to connect via bluetooth and gives the "cant find partnership error.
Tried two different adapters on the PC and neither get it to work.
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks!
Remove all the BT setting you have setup. Just follow the Help file on AS4.1 it works, really!
Tried all that and still not working.
Device just doesnt seem to initiate an outgoing connection.
ActSync connection problem!!
Did you fix the connection problem, think we are living the same case.
If you did fix would you please tell me what was the way?
thanks!
@Dave
From the PC AS, select File>Connection Settings and uncheck USB connection and select the BT COM port for Allow Connections. Then select "Connect" and wait till it tries all the connections and fails. Then selec Cancel and then try to connect from your Universal.
PS - I am assuming you have set-up the BT pairing using the Control Panel on the PC and Added the BT COM port from there as well
Hi,
Tried your suggestion. No luck.
PC is setup correctly. AS listening on COM6 (BT AS port as shown in my local services)
Jas doesnt seem top even initiate an outgoing connection. Get no blue indication on my desktop icon or on the port status item in the control panel.
Sorry to keep asking questions, but when you set-up the pairing between the PC and JJ did you get a Wizard on the PC that identified the ActiveSync service? Does the pairing info on the JJ say the PC provides a ActiveSync service?
I've had the same problem with my M5000, just solved it.
I removed the Toshiba bluetooth Drivers from the system and rebooted. WinXP SP2 found new hardware and proceeded to install what I assume to be standard MS Bluetooth stack. (DellHardWare.jpg)
Next, I deleted the bluetooth partnership from the M5000. I created a new partnership with my laptop, but initiated from the M5000. At this point, the M5000 didn't offer any services to use with the partnership. So, back to the laptop, creating a new incoming COM port (COM8),(DellCom8.jpg) and then set Activesync on the laptop to use that newly created port. (DellAS_connect.jpg)
Back to the M5000 bluetooth partnership, select the newly created partnership and click refresh (M5000btooth.jpg) This Time it offers me the activesync service. Tick the activesync service and then save.
Finally, on the M5000, from activesync select bluetooth connection...and that was it. Still working. Once I've disconnected and soft reset I'll try to make the connection again and report back. I'll also try to use the M5000 as a wireless modem and post results here.
FrankyG, great news. But I think the procedure you described is not that different from the AS44.1 Help file I suggested earlier.
i do it, but i doesn´t runs
Delete all your BT COM in control panel/system/device manager (select view and show hidden devices) by going to safe mode. Afterwhich restart your PC and try to pair again....it's always works for me

Bluetooth Pairing on Qtek 9100

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing this?
1. Pair your Wizard with a PC to use bluetooth dialup networking. Connect to your network and surf from the computer. Disconnect.
2. Now, pair your Wizard with a 2nd PC or a laptop, and do the same thing.
3. Now, go back and try to connect with the 1st PC. It keeps asking me to authenticate and enter the PIN code on the Wizard and the PC because the Wizard "lost" the pairing information with the original PC.
4. Now, go back to PC #2 and try to connect again. Same thing!!
Is this an annoying bug or what?? I am using Widcomm Bluetooth Stack 3.0.1.915 with AmbiCom USB Bluetooth adapter. I do not believe this is a problem with the PC, but the Wizard itself, because the PCs retain the pairings and the Wizard "lost" or "deleted" the pairing information. Is there a limitation on the # of partnerships??

I'm having a very similar situation with my Cingular 8125. When I try to create a bluetooth partnership on two computers (my desktop and my laptop), one partnership replaces the other. For example, I'll establish a partnership with my desktop and everything is working fine, but when I go and create a second partnership with my laptop, the laptop partnership "erases" or "replaces" the existing partnership with my desktop. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or have anyway to fix this problem? Thanks for all the help!

Bluetooth fails after Windows XP wakes, bluetooth manager?

I have successfully synched my T-Mobile MDA to two WinXP SP2 laptops (Thinkpads)(office and home, not exchange). The problem I have is that I can't get a connection to re-establish after sleep mode. Specifically, I have to shutdown the PCs and reboot, then all works fine. The need to reboot really limits the value of a bluetooth sync.
I'm using an Airnet USB bluetooth connector.
Some specifics. When the PC wakes, the bluetooth connection doesn't exist. As a result, activesync loses the correct com port as an option. But this will eventually update once the bluetooth connection is accomplished, and then I can open activesync settings and select the correct com port. Even with this setting correctly chosen however, when I then select activesync/connect via bluetooth on the MDA, I get the error message that the com port is not available, would I like to connect to another device? This means the correct com port is not available even though activesync is expecting to connect over the correct com port. I think this means it is the win xp bluetooth manager that is the problem.
So I see something called Widcomm discussed in the forum. Does someone who has used it know if this is a potential cure for bluetooth connections through sleep mode? Is there another solution?
