6600, and MSI Widcomm bluetooth dongle?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

Has anyone had success with this combination?

I'm trying to get this dongle wworking with the phone in conjunction
with the 6600 PC Suite. I seem to be able to pair the phone with the
pC; However, I can't get MRouter to ever see the phone.

TIA for any advice,

--Al

This may help :-

I use a widcom device and I find the procedure that works is to try &
connect the serial port, that will fail, but then the phone will try and
make a connection on it's own (like it's responding) Just accept the
connection and then launch the nokia software. This way always works for me.

See M$ knowledge base article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889814

for details on disabling the M$ XP SP2 bluetooth stack, this should
allow you to use the dongle manufacturer's drivers.
