crfh3: I have COM 5 to Bluetooth Serial Port and COM 8 to Activesync. Under client applications (in Belkin' bluetooth places)
crfh3: On my MDA, it has this section where you must assign an outgoing and incoming port for either outgoing or incoming connections. It only gives me two options, either COM 6 or 7. On my computer, if I tried to align any of the COM ports mentioned above, it never gives me the option to go to COM 6 or 7, but some other random number, like 4, 8, or 12.

crfh3: To clarify...I have "local service" (within Belkin program) to com port 8 and the com port within activesync program (seperate from my Belkin bluetooth places settings, but within connection settings of activesync) to com port 8 as well.Ok, this sounds correct then.

It has activesynced in the past via USB cable. The bluetooth adaptor is a pc card. I unchecked everything in the USB root hub stuff. And as far as I know, I put the scope of all the activesync stuff to any computer. Still nothing! Oddly enough, I only get the activesync thing spinning when it is on these settings
Connection setting within Activesync says COM 5
Local services for bluetooh serial port within Belkin's local says COM 8
Client application for bluetooth serial port within Beklin program says COM 5
if I match up local services with the connection settings in Activesync, I never get the thing to spin. What next master!? No seriously, thanks for taking the time to deal with my issue.
I see I am writing 8 days after the last post, so you very well may have already figured this out. If not, here's how I did it based on the advice I read here. NOTE: I also have the T-Mobile MDA WM5.
Remove the pairing from the MDA
Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Bluetooth
Press and hold the current connection to your Laptop and press Delete
Turn on one of the available COM ports in your Bluetooth Software
If you have COM5 and COM8, select one and enable the service
Whatever COM port you selected, add this port to ActiveSync
Adding the Port on ActiveSync
Click on File, then Connection Settings
Check the box for "Allow connection to one of the following:"
Select COM5 or COM8 (whichever you turned on from above step)
Select OK to keep changes
Start a New Partnership from the MDA
Press "New Partnership"
MDA will scan for devices and locate your Laptop
Select your Laptop
Press Next
You might be prompted to enter a passkey (depends on config), enter same passkey on MDA and Laptop
The next screen will have "select services to use from this device." The only service should be "ActiveSync"
Select this box and press "Finish"
Close out of the Bluetooth setup
Sync with Bluetooth
Start-->Programs-->Comm Manager
Click on "Sync"
Click on Menu, then "Connect via Bluetooth"
If your device has a password (which it should), enter the password and voila! You are syncing with Bluetooth
I made the instructions detailed because I fought this issue for several weeks. All I needed was the information I got on this website to figure out the rest. If I dummied down too much on certain parts, I apologize. If you cannot connect after this, I would begin to wonder about your configuration.
NOTE to the ghuru: my Bluetooth device on my laptop is a USB Billionton Class 1 that I have connected to a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card, and it is working. I was tempting to use my old 1.1 USB since you mentioned connecting to an actual USB port, but this worked. Many thanks to you for giving me the info I needed to get setup correctly.
I want to thank you, first of all, for posting these replies. In fact, I never did get the bluetooth working, so I gave up. I am going to try this, and then get back to you. Let's cross our fingers!
crfh3: Actually, I do not know even how to add a ActiveSync service within Belkin. Please help! Thanks.You don't. After you create the COM port, right-click ActiveSync, select Connection Settings and choose from the drop-down list the COM port.
