I recently got a good quality bluetooth dongle for my laptop (msi star key) so I could increase my functionality with my audiovox harrier ppc6600 PH20A2
It's a great little unit, lots of fun, and I even added wifi via a wifi sdI0 card.
I find, however, that it has a great deal of trouble doing the bluetooth with my computer. I did have activesync and file sharing running one night, but it wouldn't browse the LAN or Internet via bluetooth so I mucked with internet connection sharing, blew out the laptop wifi connection, mucked about some more till it was fixed, checking, unchecking, and reconfiguring sharing here and there, and since then, the blue tooth just doesn't satisfy. :confused: I can only get activesync to work after establishing it via usb, then I can remove from cradle and get a bluetooth session. Pretty useless that way though, as the usb is what I'm trying to escape from!
I'd really love to access the mp3 folder on my server computer.
LAN configuration: dsl modem to wifi/router, wired to server (delilah w2kpro), wireless to Dan(workstation) sam (laptop), wii, and sometimes wired to experimental linux workstation (not really working yet.:mad: )
I can access wifi when sd adapter is in the pda, but most of the time a favorite sd card is in there stocked with music, books, and videos.
Laptop browses the network just fine, server has 47G of tunes I'd like to be able to play on the pda out in the garden using the bluetooth on the laptop to serve it up (if it reaches that far from the kitchen)
Anyway, generally I'd just like to be able to add the pda to my network, do file sharing, browsing, and activesync, via the bluetooth dongle. Dongle integrates nearly seamlessly with the OS (winXP tablet) on the laptop.
Anyone out there messed with this stuff? Got suggestions on how to rebuild the bluetooth stack and get it working smoothly again? Maybe I need to completely uninstall the laptop bluetooth?
Thanks:D
