Need help with Bluetooth!

[karinatwork]

Hi!

I successfully established a Bluetooth network at home between my desktop computer (upstairs) and my laptop (downstairs), using 2 Bluegear Bluetooth USB dongles.

I tried to join the network with my h4150, but so far without any success. Is there a better "How to guide" than the one on the pocket pc itself? Any hints and tricks I should know?

Thanks for any advice! :)

The answer to that question is yes... over at Brighthand someone setup a webpage on step by step instructions on how to set a bluetooth connection to your PPC... It did not work for me... but I was eventually able to get it working... I will try and locate it for you and post back...


BACK... here is the guide as promised from Pepe..

Geekzone has some good Bluetooth Guides (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449)that may help you as well.

My instructions for using Bluetooth:

1) Go with your gut instinct

2) Read the fine manual

3) Go to the Geekzone Bluetooth guides (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449)

Always in that order. You learn more that way. ;)

Ok, after throwing out the instructions of my bluetooth dongle because it's not worth diddly squat, and after reading the information on both the websites I have been redirected too, I was still pretty much at no point at all.

Then I did a research on Google (God bless the inventor of Google and the Internet in general), I found help after reading and old thread at PalmInfoCenter.com. Yes, I know this is not the place where I should look for help, but it was my last straw. Somone there had the same problems with the Bluegear dongles, and I tried a different approach using the suggestions I found there, and voila'... it works!

Well, not that easy actually. Before finding this solution, I had to install and uninstall different kinds of drivers, until I finally found one that worked for me. AND DOES IT EVER!!

Life is good again. ;)

See? Bluetooth is good! It's beyong good, it :rock on dude!:. And the longer you use it, the more it will :rock on dude!:!

I use a Belkin dongle, a Sony Ericsson cellular phone and my iPaq 5550, and they all play together very nicely.
