Trouble going from laptop to phone ?

Posted: 03-16-2006, 01:40 AM
Hi,

A weird one here - I have a Moto 557 with bluetooth turned on. I also have
a bluetooth dongle enabled. The two devices are paired with a passkey. If
I search for devices the laptop finds the phone, the phone prompts me for
the passkey which I enter and it is then authenticated. The laptop shows the
phone as an available bluetooth device. I can send a file from my phone to
my laptop without a problem by clicking on my bluetooth icon in the system
tray and selecting Receive File. It then waits for a connection and the
subsequent file transfer. I can also use it as a bluetooth link to use my
557 as a modem. What I cannot do is transfer a file from my laptop to my
phone. When I try this I click on Send file, the window opens asking which
device and is prefilled with Motorola Phone. I check the box for passkey
and enter the key. I click next and get prompted to Browse for a file name.
I select a file and click next which enters the filename in the proper
place. I then click next again. This screen brings up a progress bar which
says authenticating and then moves to another screen with a message "The
wait operation timed out." That's where the process dies each time.

I have rebooted, removed my BT device, uninstalled it, stopped and started
BT services, and just about everything else I can think of but can't get
around this.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

More info-

I tried making the laptop to phone transfer again without the passkey and
after picking a file and clicking next it goes to a screen where it says
connecting.... It then comes back with the following error -

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond."

My BT is on and working because the files can go the other direction so I
know that's not the issue. Is there something that is supposed to be
activated on the phone prior to sending to receive the transfer request?
