anyone have any tips for connecting a T39 [via bluetooth] on XP

Posted: 08-18-2003, 03:06 AM
Hi,

I have upgraded my Laptop OS to XP and I am having ttrouble getting my
bluetooth connection to work to my T39.

I have a 3Com PC card, that all seems to be working just fine. I can pair
the devices ok. Just that connection manager wont pick up the phone
connections. I cannot see any com ports...

Many people today live under democratic governments, and those who don't,
probably want to. Democracy is an answer to the question of how to create
leaders, while preventing them from abusing that power. It achieves this
by giving the population the power to regulate their government through
voting, yet the ability to vote does not necessarily mean that you live
in a democratic country. For a population to regulate their government
effectively it must know what their government is doing, they must be well
informed. It is a feedback loop, but this loop can be broken if the
government has the power to control the information the population has
access to... [freenet.sourceforge.net]

You might have to do a manual connection first, then disconnect and use the
software to connect. This way you'll "instruct" the Bluetooth software"
which com port to use.

Have a look in guides...

I can only tell you that I had the same problem with T39 via USB
data cable. The solution: For an unknown reason XP decided to use
COM5 port instead of COM1 - but since we've discovered that (and
redefined the asettings), everything's OK.

With all due respect, the problem isn't XP, but poorly-written phone software
that's unable to find the COM port on its own.

Sorry, but it's exactly the same phone SW that had no problems when
dealing with Win98SE. So my uneducated guess was that it's the OS,
not the phone SW.

Have you enabled the IrDA port on the laptop through the BIOS? Sometimes
this is disabled.
