How do I create an incoming Bluetooth COM port? When I go to the COM ports tab in the Bluetooth settings, where I expect to find "New Outgoing Port" and "New Incoming Port", it's just blank. I need to create an incoming port to get my hands-free car kit working.

Using WM6 by the way, but think I still had this issue with orignal WM5.

Thanks!

You have 2 do thid on the pc, not the ppc. Go to bluetoothsettings in your configscreen on XP. then 3rd tab, comports, then add outgoing comport.

use this comport in your conection settings in activesync.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the only answer as I've not got an XP machine any more :( Can this be done from Vista? (not even sure by BT dongle works with Vista). Or do you know if it can be done from a Mac?

Thanks for the reply anyway.
