Hi,
I recently upgraded to the bluetooh Widcomm stack on the laptop. Its better, more complete software but I seem to have lost 2 bits of functionality :
1. Only the device can initiate a bluetooth connection. Nothing I do from the PC will establish a working connection, even though it does see the device.
2. My bluetooh sat nav no longer pairs with the laptop. No idea why. But it's pain - because bluetooth was the only way to connect. It's never been recognised by XP as a USB device.,
any one had similar experience ? wm5 on a prophet.
bump.....sorry

Anybody have an HP (Compaq) nc6400 laptop? It has built-in BT but doesn't appear to support PAN. WOuld the best idea be to buy a BT Dongle that does support it adn turn off the built-in one?
Prob is BT Stack
I had an HP NC6200 and the problem is in the BT Stack. Remove the software that came with the HP and install the MS drivers/stack and once the install completes, the option to "Join a Personal Area Network" will be available.
Just an aside....i dont prefer the MS BT Stack but in this case I know it works because my Dell has a Toshiba BT Stack and I had to do the same thing. Widcomm BT Stack is my preference.

OK, thanks for your help. Will give it a go. i guess the MS drivers are available on the MS site?
uninstalled the HP bt software but not sure where to find or how to install the MS stack?
OK, I've given up on the in-built BT. Got a BT USB dongle and Blue Soleil. Now PAN works and I can use my Hermes as a 3G modem.
good so far....
but how do you get ActiveSync to work over BT? Is it possible?
It would be much cheaper and easier just to download/buy Bluesoleil software from IVT - it works with all dongles, also with BT device you have inside your HP laptop.
yeah - it works with my dongle but not with the inbuilt device.
How do i get ActiveSync to work over BT?
If you disconnect the new dongle and install fresh demo from IVT website, Bluesoleil and then activate the built-in BT, it will work. Until you will buy license, there will be 5MB data limit.
I use BlueSoleil it with my built-in dongle from HP (nc6000).
ActiveSync is possible using virtual COM port on Bluetooth. There is sometimes ActiveSync service in some Bluetooth stacks, but I think IVT doesn't support it. If you want to use BT directly, you might need to switch to MS Bluetooth or Widcomm stack. Don't ask me how - never used MS stack.
BTW: there should be update for your Widcomm stack for your laptop - I think Bluetooth PAN is now standard (but painful to use with Widcomm).
When I try this the HP Wireless assistant takes over and BlueSoleil says "please insert your BT device".

OK, no probs. I put it in Hermes WM6 because of the requirement for Internet Sharing after I upgraded to WM6 and therefore needed PAN but I accept that it is more of a general issue
I've upgrade my himalaya to WM5, but i still have the same problem when i still use 2003. My device cant be detected as PAN device. I need it to make my himalaya as remote presenting.. How can i connect to Comp? or how to setting PAN bluetooth?
as far as i know the ms bluetooth stack never supported PAN
with 2003 one could install vidcomm bluetooth stack and get the profile
not sure if there are any working vidcomm stacks for 2005 though
I've got desktop PC with Linux and bluetooth but without WiFi so I am using BT PAN network access point service on the desktop PC and BT PAN client on my notebook to connect wireless when at home. Both are BT 2.0+EDR so the speed is about 3.0Mbps.
I've got Hermes with WM6 5.2.1933 and MS BT stack.
Is there a way I can connect to Internet over BT PAN?
I know there is some bluetooth PAN support as it can be used in Internet sharing but I haven't figured out how to connect to existing BT PAN network.
Any advice?
it's not for linux but you should read this one

Thank you, it looks promising, I was able to find my bluetooth PAN interface and setup IP and DNS for it but I am unable to find any "Join a personal network" button in my bluetooth settings.
Where can I find the damn button?
OK, so just to close the topic...
the problem is in MS bluetooth stack which doesn't support bluetooth PAN client profile. The only solution for now is to install cracked Widcomm bluetooth stack on devices which originally came with the MS one. The project for this can be found on XDA wiki.
Current status for the Hermes (my sweety) is that you can make it work, can have BT PAN client but some other things doesn't work correctly (bt on/off in comm manager, bt audio profile doesn't work very well, ...).
What bout use WM6 with Internet haring Feature, that's all the stuff related to sharing internet using Bluetooth.

Internet Connection Sharing is the other way around: you can use your WM6 device as a PAN access point, and the PC (e.g. a notebook) is the PAN client.
KOPRajs, you can use ActiveSync over Bluetooth. On the PC you need SynCE (http://www.synce.org/). The wiki there is currently under construction, and I can't find anything about Bluetooth now, but there's a Howto for Ubuntu over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50932 .
Thx, I have actually SynCE working (even over bluetooth) but I was unable to set up MS proxy (or whatever it is) so even when it's connected, apps on the phone do not know about active connection and tries to dial up a GPRS instead of using Active Sync connection.
And more, the whole SynCE thing is highly unstable yet so that's why would be nice to use BT PAN client.
Everyone,
I have been able to get the internal GPS working well with Google Maps, etc. However, I tried connecting last night to my Holux GR-236 external bluetooth GPS receiver and the bjii (wm6.1) cannot connect - it gives me an error that either there was a connection problem or the passkey was incorrect.
Note that I have several other devices that connect with the Holux just fine using the 0000 passkey, so I dont believe it is the passkey.
Also note that I can get the bjii to connect to my computer and a bluetooth headset so the bluetooth on the phone works.
Anybody have any ideas what is going on? Is there any way to debug why the connection fails?
Thanks.
Hi,
Does anybody have ever connected the VDA GPS to a Bluetooth Access Point (BTAP) at home in order to go online via broadband speed rather than GPRS?
How will be the settings?
I have a blue2net and cannot figure out how to establish a data connection between both devices...
Hi tuo_kaerf,
did you get a connection between the VDA GPS and the Siemens blue2net?
I'm looking for a solution to get into www with the blue2net too, but i still haven't found a way to connect these items...
Unfortunately not, due to the PAN profile in Windows Mobile, which is not sufficient for connecting with the BTAP. It is only designed for connecting to other BT enabled devices, such as mobile phones, but not a BTAP.
Could changing the bluetooth stack from microsoft to widcomm be a solution?
This can't be a problem of bluetooth, this must be a software problem...

Funny you, a problem with bluetooth profiles *IS* a software problem
Upps. I originally ment "This can't be a hardware problem"...
So there must be a workaround to get this problem solved.
I'm back again...
Could flashing the VDA GPS to Windows Mobile 6.1 be a solution for this problem?
