Think I may have just figured it! I am using the same BT dongle for
both PCs - so I guess it has the same device address irrelevant of
which PC it is connected to. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is the case, I guess I will have to re-pair it for each
machine....

Hmm or maybe buy another dongle....

You are right in your assumption.

Before buying another dongle, you should set up both PC's with the same
BT-name and BT PIN code. Then pair from both, and test if it is
possible to fool the phone into using both PC's without re-pairing.

That's just far too clever ;-)

Good idea, I'll give it a go!
