bluetooth problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have an Asus A620 and a bluetooth dongle for the pc. when i try to
connect to the pc to do anything it only shows up some connection called
'p'. It used to allow me to do internect connection sharing and file
sharing and all the other stuff. I can't even get it to connect to that
'p' connection. it just times out every time.

I run winxp with sp2. has anyone else had similar problems?

Which is why I haven't 'upgraded' to SP2......
