Hi Peter, As luck would have it, last night I installed a Belkin Bluetooth USB dongle on my desktop, and connected it to my Nokia 6230i. In my case, I now have a "Bluetooth Configuration" entry in Control Panel. If I select that, I am presented with a dialog which has a number of tabs. One of the tabs is called "Accessibility", and contains a check box to "allow other Bluetooth devices to find this computer" One of the other tabs is called "Discovery". This allows you to set the system up to scan for other devices at regular intervals. However, there is also an Icon in the System Tray. If I right click on it, a menu pops up, and one of the options there is one to "Start the device". Another is "Explore my Bluetooth places", and once started, when I selected that, it found my phone OK. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 18 February 2006 14:40 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Blue tooth. I've installed a blue tooth dongle. All went well. I've enabled my Nokia for blue tooth switched on. But my PC doesn't recognise any blue tooth connection. Must I do anything within Control panel? Such as enable sharing etc?
