I need some help. I know a lot of you have knowledge in the tech field, so I thought I’d try here before registering and trying this on some other tech help site.
I have a Palm Tungsten E2 that I’m trying to connect to my computer using Bluetooth. My laptop is Vista Home Premium, and has a USB Bluetooth device. However, I am having two major problems:
Whenever I try to run HotSync with Bluetooth, it results with a message on the Palm: “Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.” I have it set to run the "AARON-PC" connection, which is set up to connect to my laptop using Bluetooth. When scanning for devices, the two connect just fine. I have set up a new COM port for the Bluetooth device (COM 4), and is strictly-Bluetooth use. However, it still will not sync.
My other problem is trying to share my internet connection, which is dial-up, with the Palm wirelessly. I have set my dial-up connection as “shared” on my computer, and added my Palm as a trusted device. On the Palm, the network settings are to use the service and connection of “AARON-PC,” which as I said is Palm to laptop using Bluetooth. Whenever I open the Web browser on my Palm, it shows that it is trying to sign on; on the laptop it says that the Bluetooth Connection was successful, and that the Palm device “Kasyl” is connected to “Dial-up Networking.” However, the only thing that happens on my Palm is a message that says, “Error: PPP timeout (0x1231).”
Any help you could give me would be great. This is really frustrating. _________________ My FA |

Well, HotSync is working correctly with Bluetooth now. However, it still will not connect to the internet wirelessly. _________________ My FA |

Tried MochaSoft's MochaPPP?
http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ppp.htm
It was written for earlier versions of Windooze, and doesn't know what BT is, but if BT looks like a serial port to it, it should work...

Ooooh... thanks. I just downloaded it, I'll install it and see how it works. My BT is a serial port, so it should work. _________________ My FA |
