> Setting up bluetooth serial port in Win 2K??
Bookmark topic
I'm trying to sync a T68i with Outlook 2003, running on Windows 2000 SP3. I've got a bluetooth USB dongle which is "powered by Windigo". I've installed Blue Manager 3.1a, and it can see the T68i, and I've also installed the Sony Ericsson Comms Suite 1.5.9.2, but I can't work out how to get a bluetooth serial port working in Win 2K.
Blue Manager shows "Bluetooth COM Port - Serial" as being on COM3. I've enabled and reserved COM3 in the Sony Phone Monitor, but Outlook still can't see the T68i - presumably because I haven't set up the serial port correctly.
Other sources give instructions on setting up the serial port from the "My Bluetooth Places" facility. I don't have this facility, after installing Windigo and the Sony Ericsson Suite. Is "My Bluetooth Places" something that I should be seeing somewhere in Win2K? If not, where/how do I define my bluetooth serial port?
TIA for any guidance

My bluetooth places should be in My Computer with a shortcut on your desktop chances are you will have to reinstall the bt software and if u have the option of bt adapter you should try it instead of the blue manager hope this helps.

Yes that's where I was expecting to find it - it doesn't show up under My Computer or the Desktop.
I've installed Blue Manager (and the Sony Suite), about 5 times now (!), so I don't think it's going to appear.
>> if u have the option of bt adapter you should try it instead of the blue manager"
what do you mean by this? The Windigo software doesn't give me any installation options. Is there any other s/w that I should be trying?
