How to set up bluetooth on PC?

[Roo]

I got me a bluetooth adaptor yesterday, a 'MSI PC2PC Bluetooth' adaptor. I think I have paired it with my phone, bu how do I get Nokia Data Suite to pick it up?

Please help.

:sad: :sad:

Go to mRouter in the PC's taskbar ... and enable the COMM port set as the Bluetooth Serial Port for your phone. Then get into PC Suite. But make sure you have installed software and drivers for the Bluetooth Dongle beforehand! You might get an icon called "My Bluetooth Places" on the desktop, depending on the brand and software

this is a big issue since microsoft likes to abuse good technology.. anyways



1) open up my bluetooth places > devices in range > (celphone name here) > and double click "bluetooth serial port"

2) rightclick the mRouter, go to properties.

3) check next to all the bluetooth entries.

4) start up the nokia connect software.

the tricky part is getting step one to work.. bluetooth is real finnicky in windows...

Step One wasn't that hard with the Billionton Bluetooth 100m USB Dongle and the software that came with it. I reckon how smooth the installation and pairing goes depends on the brand and the software.

Mine's running perfect on Windows XP Pro. But yea, Windows is finnicky. It doesn't even have USB 2.0 preinstalled ... GRRRR

Well everytime I try to connect my 6600 to the computer my 6600 says that, 'Bluetooth handsfree profile not supported by computer'?

Whats that mean?

no no.. you turn on bluetooth reception from your phone, but don't try to connect from your phone.. you connect from your pc...

Okay I try doing that mrouter thing but it says the remote device closed the connection, what now?

Thanks for the help btw guys.

that's what i'm saying.. it gets all stupid.. your message is normal tho..
you have one of two options:

keep trying.. eventually it will connect (the bt icon will turn green and the mrouter thing wil change, too)

or there's a fix.. lemme find it...

in the beginning, i got lucky with connecting with bluetooth..it slowly detiriorated, though... you might wanna try the fix anyways...

ok here it is:

1) go to advanced configuration (right click the bluetooth icon)

2) in "local services" tab click "add serial device"

3) in "client applications" tab click "add com port"

4) go back to mRouter and check the new coms

5) connect..

it will work every time, now, although you still get the error message...
it has something to do with the nokia phone closing the initial connection and then trying to make its own connection back.. kinda dumb.. but at least this fix works...

where do i find the mrouter thing? i can't seem to find it.....

[noreturn]

in your system tray, near the clock. restart if you can't see it. oh and make sure you installed the nokia suite software.

Using PC Suite is all good on my pc thru BT, but when i want to install the Nokia Modem with BT support, i cannot choose that option i can only choose Infrared even if i dont have one. Does anyone knw wut to do?

[Iceman5]

only use the software that came with the product... changing to another version even if its newer will usually not work

[noreturn]

it sounds like you haven't set up the bluetooth drivers.

ok i've connected everything. and when i launch nokia pc suite for the first time, it asks me to key in a name in which to identify my phone in future. whatever name i key in, it asks me to key in a valid name. what is wrong?
