Problems with bluetooth

HugoSP

Hi

Can anyone please give me some idea as to why my Advent bluetooth dongle on the laptop won't pair up with my Nokia 6111?

I get all the way to inserting the code on the pc and then doing the same on the phone then it tells me that pairing has failed.

if I leave the code blank it tells me that a default code will be used. What the hell is that all about? I don't know what the deafault code is so I can't put it in the phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I only want to download my contat so they go on my new phone.

Thanks

Default codes for Bluetooth devices is normally 0000 or 1234

Not sure about your other problem, I dabbled with bluetooth dongles some time ago and found that once you scan, you also have to ENABLE the pairing function.

The software I used had a drop down menu to enable all services (this is NOT the same as simply scanning for devices)

Thanks for taking the trouble to answer Chris

I managed to sort it. It turns out that the software I was using is not supported by Windows XP 64 bit (or Vista for that matter). The Nokia web page enlightened me.

I removed the SW that came with the dongle and then plugged the dongle back in. It prompted the pc to find its own software for it and all has been fine since.
