I have recentley bought a bluetooth dongle. I have plugged it in, and installed it all correctly. (it has a 100M range}
But     {all my threads include a "but" }
in my room - within a metre of my PC - it cant detect my phone.
I put my phone within a a few center meters of the dongle and my PC found my phone and i paired them up, but i cant get it to do anymore ... like sending files etc...
I have a router underneath my PC too, could this be the problem?
And even if it cut a few meters pff it ... 99 meters and 90 center-meters
is there anyway i can solve this and get my phone to be connected by my PC?

thanks for any help

Is your phone still 'paired' with your PC and does it require a passkey? and how are you getting the dongle to detect your phone? what program etc

Yes - still paired
Only needs a passs code to par it
Umm  - im using the software that came with it, it is "IVT Corporation BlueSoleil"

I used to use that, but now i use Windows one erm

do you need to activate a 'find me' function on either your PC or phone? this is to stop people constantly being able to trying to connect to you

no i dont think so...
the connection between my phone and PC is always aloud
and they are paired
i have the the K750i .....

i used to have that phone and mine worked fine. maybe you should unpair or drop the device from both the pc and the phone then try to pair again

i'll try ..
could it be the router that is the problem?

---------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: i have deleted both devices and tried to re connect them and the phone is within a 1 metre range and it cant be found {YES bluetooth IS on!}

AND i have out the phone with in a few CM's of the dongle and it still cant be found!

My bluetooth thing came with a little appendition slip inside giving extra instructions for XP SP2. I had to add an extra driver off the disk, maybe you have to?

Btw, stop saying center meters!! It's centimetres.
