Hi,

I really have tried but now I don't know what else I can do to get this working.

Today, I got an MSI bluetooth key which I have connected to my desktop PC and installed the latest drivers of the MSI site.

I'm unable to get my IPAQ talking to the PC at all. I can't even pair the devices. The PC sees the IPAQ and vice versa.

Ultimately I want to use the internet on my PDA using the connection from my PC but I think I am stuck at the first hurdle.

I choose pair devices on the PDA then put a key in and the XP machine doesn't do anything and eventually the device times out. I understand the computer should show a pop up asking for the key I put into the IPAQ.

I'm using XP SP2 beta if this makes a difference.

Many thanks for any help given

Hmmm. Not sure about this one. I've installed the Windows XP SP2 RC1 in my dekstop and the Bluetooth implementation is not 100% yet. And even if you remove it some stuff is left behind. It may be conflicting with the MSI drivers now.

This is what I am thinking. The icon in the task bar goes green when I try to pair the devices so it knows I am trying to pair them, but when I click on it, the icon goes white again. I understand the PC should ask for a pair code that I put in thr PDA.

I'm going to reload the software this weekend without SP2 and see what happends unless anyone has any ideas what I could do to fix this without a reload.
