Anyone know how to get a bluetooth connection going between PC and phone?

I'm having no luck. Grrr!

You need bluetooth on on both then search for new devices on either one and it should bring up the names of all devices it can find

Ahh

How do I enable bluetooth on my pc then?

I take it your pc has bluetooth built in? if so I guess there would be something in the contorl panel to enable it set.
I have a usb bluetooth dongle thingy that I use.

It won't let me chose microsoft as default - but keeps self selecting toshiba - which we don't have.

There is sometimes a switch that you have to physically switch on, iirc. Should be on the side or front of your laptop.

look for the bluetooth logo

yes this is a usb plug in - just like a data key

all the icons are there - it regignises the phone name just won'\t connect

sorry x posted. what are you selecting?

this is how mine used to work:
If the phone is showing up on the pc, double click on it, and it asks you for a pin. enter anything, eg "1111"

In a couple of seconds, the phone will ask for a pin, and you enter the same one. Then the connection should be established.

Or maybe you have to right click and select "connect" from a menu, instead of double clicking.
It was a few months ago, and in another language. But connection isnt automatic, you have to instigate it.

Thanks but going to get the it bloke up the street to have alook. Its doingf my head in.

I bought a dongle..is that any help?

lol

a what?

you want a bluetooth dongle. it's like a usb memory stick, but creates the bluetooth link between pc and phone. DP bought one in tesco for about £6 and it works well for transferring pictures, ringtones etc.

That's what I've got. Can't get it to work!
