Hi All,

I have a problem which is driving me up a wall. I have a HP Pavilion
zd7010us laptop with 4 USB 2.0 ports. The laptop is running Windows XP
Home Edition with Service Pack 2 installed.

Recently, I bought a Linksys Bluetooth dongle. I installed the
software then plugged in the dongle when prompted to do so. Everything
installed with no errors. I turned on Bluetooth in my Motorola V600
GSM/GPRS cellular phone. Make the phone discoverable and click on the
Bluetooth add device button. The phone is discovered and listed a a
Dial-up Network device. When I try to discover it as a Personal Area
Network Device, it does not get found.

Today I went back to CompUSA and bought a DLink Bluetooth dongle with
the identical result.

I know the phone works as a GPRS device because my Tungsten|T3
connects with it know problem at all.

Why can't I get my laptop to discover the phone as a GPRS device?

Ciao . . . C.Joseph

A shot in the dark.
Can you not query the bluetooth phone to find what services it offers? Maybe
it is under a different name than PAN.

Hi Terry,

My phone doesn't give you the option to find out what services it offers.

The reason why I am confused, is because with both Bluetooth adapters,
It only comes up as an analog modem. Even there it has problems. I can
try to have it dial, but with both I get an error 678. The phone
number is right and does work if I attach a landline.

If it didn't work so well with my Palm Tungsten|T3, I would think it
was a defective phone.

I went to the Motorola web site, I they do not offer and special
drivers for the V600. I did have to chose drivers for the V600 on the
Palm and used the driver for the TP280i.

Ciao . . . C.Joseph

Does the bluetooth on the computer offer an option to discover what services
are offered by a bluetooth device it is talking to? I thought I read
something similar to this approach with bluetooth on ppc called "explore a
bluetooth device".

Maybe it is a function of the bluetooth stack. I see Motorola offers their
own dongle with a copy of Mobile Phone Tools 2

Hi Terry,

Neither software offers that option. They both offer the option to add
a device to the PAN. It just never discovers the phone as such a device.

Hi Festo,

I found out that my mistake was trying to set up my V600 as a pan
device. Someone else here told me the GPRS was supposed to be done
inside of [Dial-up Networking].
