> Bluetooth - Sync PPC with Desktop??!?!
Bookmark topic
Hi.
I've just purchased a Mitsumi Bluetooth USB Dongle for my WinXP desktop (with SP1) and also a Cyber-Blue Compact Flash Bluetooth adaptor for my Jornada 567 Pocket PC.
The software and drivers that came with the Mitsumi dongle are really awful and I had to remove them and install the TECOM Bluetooth software (v1.2.2.16) which I must say runs beautifully.
On my PPC I run the software that came with the CF adaptor (XTNDConnect Pocket Monitor, v1.1.2 by Windigo Systems).
The two pieces of software seem to work ok together, I have paired my two devices and I can exchange files between them just fine.
My problem is when I try to synchronize my PPC with my desktop via bluetooth. I have tried just about EVERYTHING and I still can't do it. I have followed the instructions that came with the software, looked on messageboards but still nothing.
I don't know if I should try some other piece of software for my PDA or what?! I did try Anycom's REALLY nice package for bluetooth for PPC but unfortunately it couldn't detect my bluetooth CF adaptor.
When I am in XTNDConnect (on the PDA) and I go to File->Connect to LAN I get a login screen for User Name, Password and Domain, all of which I leave blank. Tapping OK I am given the option of selecting to which device I would like to connect. Surprisingly enough when I choose the device (my desktop) and then click connect I am indeed connected!! But that's it. I can't get ActiveSync to work or even use PocketIE (I know that that's another story but I get one error message when I try to browse AFTER connecting like I described above and another WITHOUT connecting)!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should go about this, or maybe for a different software for the PPC?
Many thanks for your time.

PS Do you think it matters that I have the USB dongle connected to a USB hub?
PS2 Is there a newer version of the Pocket Monitor from Windigo Systems? Where could I get it from?
