Before I am describing my problem just a brief overview of my BT settings. I use a EPOX BT stick that runs on XP/SP2 on the XP drivers that SP2 provides. No installation of any BT software/drivers that came with the stick.

..... now for the trouble

My idea is to host a PAN on my IPaq where other clients (such as the XP desktop) can join and share files etc. This is because I can send files from the desktop (via click in the systray on "send file"); then my IPay takes notice of that request and ask me if I want to accept the file. But the other way round it does not work.

When I click in the systray on "receive file" the dsktop is waiting for the bt device to react on that request .... but it does not work.

Strictly speaking, I have got two problems. One that I cannot send receive files from the IPaq when kicked off from the desktop.

And the other one is the trouble with the PAN. I hosted the PAN on my IPaq and clicked on "join PAN" in the systray ..... no result.

Would anybody please tell me, what to do (activate special service on he IPaq/Desktop?)

Thank you
