hello Esato people.
first post as you may or may not know. anyway.
I own a t610. I have owned 2 BT Dongles (MSI and Trust), i returned them, after failing to get connected. So i bought another dongle (CSR), blaming the dongles as the problem. But, the third dongle still does the same.
By the way, before i go any further, im on windows xp, does this matter? Ive read about winxp not supporting BT, however if XP doesnt, win98 wont have a cat in hells chance, surely.
Anyway...
The basic procedures for each dongle was: Install the drivers/software as you would with anything. Then try and get the bugger to work.
Basically. I have installed the drivers/software, I come to setting up the dongle in the supplied Widcomm Program, it asks me to give my PC name, then add Bluetooth Serial Services and Server Serial Services (or something like that) now here, with the MSI we could at least click the button, and get to the next stage, but on the Trust, and this CSR wont let me add anything, just click the button in vein, with nothing popping up. So basically I cant get any further.
The other approach (going into control panel and running the config wizard) brings us to the stage of trying to find Services, but in explorer, no services are listed, on all 3 dongles we have never had a service listed.
After trying 3 dongles and numerous Widcomm drivers/software (drivers tried: MSI / Trust / TECOM / Anycom / CSR -- software tried: mRouter) and never managing to get any where, I gave in and blamed the phone.
I have been told that there is some hacked Bluetake drivers/software which cater for all dongles (or near enough) does anyone know where i could find these?
Regards,
Vini

I'm using a D-Link at home and a Belkin at work and haven't had any problems really with either (apart from Belkins lack of driver updates grrr), but it actually sounds as if there is something wrong with your PC if you're having that much trouble
! You're installing the software before you plug the dongle in aren't you?

i have tried it on 4 machines, 2 windows xp fully patched and upto date with sp1. and 2 windows 98 se patched again upto date.
i consider myself to be of a good understanding with pc's so i dont think im doing anything wrong.
i was just wondering if its because ive used Cheap dongles, however people say theyve got the MSI working so...

i use msi dongles, they're cheap, and they work well. it doesn't always mean that cheap adapters are shoddy products.
XP doesn't support BT natively. but you can make it work in XP machines too.
with regards to the modified BT drivers thread, they're in the technical forum, just use our favorite

You can also try disabling driver signing, and downloading the latest drivers from the manufacturers web site.

Hacked drivers will not solve your problem.
