i need help with my bluetooth connection between my laptop and my mda.

i purchased a kensington usb bluetooth adapter for my laptop to connect to my mda. my laptop detects the mda but laptop is assigning the connection to com port 5 however the mda only allows for com port 6 or 7.

question is how do i make my computer assign a different com port??

please help me!!!

The only solution I found to this was to delete activesync from my pc -- no mean feat because it is always running, search for "activesynctoggle.exe" -- and delete the partnership and start over, choosing the right com port on the PC the next time.

But that never fixed the ultimate problem, which is that bluetooth would sync once, and then not again until I shut down and restarted my laptop. I finally gave up, as it worked pretty much flawlessly with a usb cable.

I've just bought a laptop with integral bluetooth and I'm hoping that it will sync with bluetooth.
