Hi all..

I have a problem sync'ing my Thinkpad R40 (With Integrated Bluetooth)
with my iPaq H1940 and T630.. I would like to send / receive files
to/from my phone / iPaq with the Thinkpad... and also, I wanted to
browse the internet with my iPaq thru the Integrated Bluetooth on my
Thinkpad.

Here's what I tried... for at least a week, but no luck...

At the very beginning, I was trying to connect my cell phone and my
iPaq with the IBM Integrated Bluetooth on my Thinkpad. I was able to
"see" the phone with my Wireless Network in the Control Panel. I had
no problem authenticating both hardware with my notebook. However,
when it shows all the services available on both devices, there is
only "Dial-up networking" available for both devices. I noticed there
was a driver available at IBM which is called IBM Integrated Bluetooth
II, which is for R40, so I installed it. However, that piece of "My
Bluetooth Places" does not work at all. It says it cannot find my
bluetooth on my thinkpad. (But from Control Panel, I have no problem
authenticating bluetooth devices, it's just the matter of having those
OBEX File Transfer services installed).. I can't really see where I
can install additional services for my Thinkpad..


I was thinking it was my bluetooth's problem on the devices, but then,
I have no problem browsing files and send/receive files between my
iPaq and T630 (All services are available, i.e. Serial, OBEX,Dial-up
networking).. It seems like it's the Thinkpad which is creating the
problem here...


How can I get those services installed on my Windows XP?

Here's the list of my hardware...

Thinkpad R40 (with Integrated Bluetooth)
Windows XP Professional SP1
iPaq H1940
SonyEricsson T630


Thanks a lot for anyone's help.

Regards,
Steve

Thinkpad R31 user here
i've had a bad time installing a Bluetooth CF adapter
in my laptop, for a reason I still don't know.
I have gone through a few times uninstalling it and
then reinstalling it, it's not the hardware that is
giving trouble, it is Windows XP and the way it
handles unsigned drivers. as far as I know, Bluetooth
device drivers aren't officially signed yet...
what you could do is, if you have the IBM Update
connector installed on your system, is to try that
and see if IBM has newer Bluetooth drivers for
your R40 system. (aside from the IBM IBII)
Also, check your R40's BIOS settings for possible
Bluetooth settings, and Control Panel, and in
Hardware Manager (properties of the BT device).
I'm not sure if you will find any settings for Bluetooth
there but it's worth a try. Keep your devices at
least 1 foot away from the laptop when you try
searching for devices again, sometimes when you
keep Bluetooth enabled devices too close to each
other you put them in eachother's 'dead zone'.

hope this helps a little..

I had the same problem and bugged IBM. They told me that you either have MS
Bluetooth connectivity which is dial up or their software which as far as i
can see doesnt work.

Xp SP2 beta gives you a COM port but I think it is a trashy attitude by IBM.

Read the IBM installation instructions VERY CAREFULLY -- especially the part
- starting device manager
- opening the Bluetooth Devices "device"
- choosing to "update driver"
- select the SECOND, NON-SIGNED driver that is offered.

My T40 works beautifully since I went through this -- different HW of
course,
SE610 and Logitech Mx900 mouse.

If in doubt, print out the readme (from the web site), go through the
installation step-by-step, assuming nothing. (I didn't the first time --
took
my standard "sure, I know how to do this" approach and paid the price!)

Good luck!
