BLUETOOTH PASSCODE - HELP!!!!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

are you sure its not a code to get into the phone? any dumb bluetooth
device like keyboards and mice i have set up you just push the button, it
gets found and works. i would expect that a phone would want to have
someone give it a password so that not any old computer that it comes in
range of would have access to all your phone numbers and stuff stored in
it... so try asking nokia maybe.

Hi Soto

I have the same problem with my Sharp phone. Everytime I want to download
stuff from the phone I have to re-establish the bluetooth pairing.
This is what I do....

-Insert the bluetooth dongle into pc (if yours is integral then just switch
it on)
-Right click on the bluetooth logo and show devices
-Delete my phone from the list
-Tell the pc to search for bluetooth devices (after making sure bluetooth is
enabled on the phone)

-This is the bit you want: Let the PC assign a passcode for me. It then
tells me what the code is and i enter it into the phone when it asks me to.

-Wait a few seconds and hey presto we have phone and pc talking to each
other. )

Hope this helps
