bluetooth services & XP SP2

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

I have not tried the Belkin USB Bluetooth dongle with XP SP2. However,
my Dell notebook has integrated Bluetooth with XP SP2 installed and
works ok with a Pocket PC. Couple of ideas you can try:

0. Build a XP restore point before trying either of these ideas...

1. Turn off the XP SP2 firewall to see if it is the culprit.

2. Re-instsall the Belkin Bluetooth stack.

thanks Todd
have already tried both
I'm trying to get another dongle to test - might have to use an old PC for
the task.

This is because the BT Service Pack 2 has taken over the Bluetooth
control....

Just reinstall the Belkin Bluetooth Software, and follow the instructions on
