I have a new TDK USB Bluetooth dongle that I want to use with my Sony Ericsson T610. This would be for file transfres, Outlook syncronisation etc. - nothing too clever. Just the right application for "Plug n Play".... sigh
My PC is set up with an ethernet card connected to a cable modem (ISP is NTL in UK). IP numbers, DNS etc are assigned by my ISP automatically using DHCP
After I install the TDK bluetooth software I can no longer access the internet. The installation proceedure seems to mess up my settings big time. I have tried a search here and on usenet with no sucess but I suspect the is a simple(ish) solution if you understand networking which I don't - so all help gratefully received.
Before I install I have one network connection:

After re-booting the Microsoft TV/Video Connection connetion vanishes but the settings on my cable modem connection have changed. Fiddling with things doesn't seem to have an effect.
