>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am trying to figure out how to use a Bluetooth on my XP computer. If I go to Device Manager and open Universal Serial Bus Controllers node I see Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth. So I figure I have it. I click on Properties and it says that the device is working properly and is enabled. But when I go to Control Panel I don't see Bluetooth Devices (as Windows Help says). What am I missing? TIA.

>>Check that 'Blue Tooth Support Service' is present and running in the Services list. If it is not then 'Blue Tooth Devices' won't show up in the Control Panel.....

>I see the item Bluetooth Hid Switch Service in the Services list. And it is disabled. I am now stuck on the following. I am trying to connect my Pocket PC (MC55 running WM 6.5) via Bluetooth. The Pocket PC Bluetooth wizard found a bluetooth (I suppose the one on my XP computer) (although the model number that Pocket PC found is slightely different (Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth) from the one I see in the Device manager on the PC (Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth). But when I try to establish secure connection between the Pocket PC and the computer Bluetooth, it asks me for Password. Even though it says, press Next if a passcode is not required, pressing Next gives me "Cannot Connect because the passcode is incorrect" Do you know where one would get the Passcode?

>Thank you.
Sometimes, if a password has not been set on the device, you can set the password when first connecting. Use anything you like and that's what it will use in the future. I'm not familiar with the device you're trying to connect to so this may not apply.
If not then maybe there's something in the device documentation that will give you the default password.....
