What is your Windows OS?
I had the same problem with a Belkin PCCard BT adapter when using Windows
98se. I never did get it to work.
Recently I got a new laptop with Windows XP Pro and decided to try the same
card. It worked immediately after installing the software and has never
caused a problem since!!
I use mine both as a Com port and DUN connection to Internet.

Also make certain the 6310i phone has software 5.50 or later (I believe the
latest is 5.51). Mine has 5.51.

(Thanks for confirming my [initial] appearance :-| At least I know I'm not
invisible!)

John - the f/w is 5.50...flashed up just a few days ago in an attempt to
resolve this issue. I run WinXP-H, which is fully updated, and seems rock
stable.

Meanwhile I have written to Billionton, and they have asked for the p/n and
s/n of the adapter. I've sent that off, and hopefully they will now reply
with a simple/guaranteed fix. (Yeah, right!)

I also informed them that I am disappointed to discover how complex this
adventure is...despite my reasonable level of expertise with computers in
general.

I will follow up in this thread.

Regards,
Ron

Sorry, I can't help you.
This is just to let you know your post & previous one does show in
alt.cellular.nokia

Persuming, that you use Serial for BT, you can use your infer -red on the
Laptop in no Infer- Red then purchase a usb-irda adapter which is quite
cheap, and install Nokia suite and it will put in modem drivers, once you
activate irda on the 6310i you will have the means to connect to the
internet via your mobile phone, in the "Control Panel" you can create 2
network connection one using your BT DUN and one usinng your "NOKIA 6310i
GSM DRIVER"

Thanks for that. I've invested more than a few dollars for the USB BT
adapter...so I want to see what Billionton says before I decide to shelve
it.

I will follow up in this thread when/if they respond.

Cheers
Ron
