Don't know whether this is supposed to go in this forum or the LAN forum ... but anyway.
I just acquired an Ipaq 2210 Pocket PC
The ipaq 2210 has built in bluetooth, so yesterday I bought a Belkin bluetooth dongle (it uses the Widcomm drivers) for my desktop PC.
I've been able to get Activesync working via bluetooth, as well as an Internet connection, using the Activesync pass through feature.
I want to be able to browse the files and hard drives on my desktop PC but have had no luck with this.
I've been able to set up the Network Access, and both ppc and desktop have static ip addresses which I can ping. (The desktop is set to 192.168.66.99 and the ppc is set to 192.168.66.66). However if I try and use Resco File Explorer, my desktop pc does not show up and I cannot map the drives.
And in the Bluetooth Network connection on the desktop PC, File And Print Sharing is set up.
I've also tried PocketLan and Network Browser, which have at least been able to see my desktop PC, but have not been able to see any normal shared directories, let alone being able to map the c, d, e and f drives.
I do have a software firewall running (Kerio Personal Firewall) ... but have tried it both enabled and disabled and it makes absolutely no difference.
And as far as I am aware, I have given anything that looks vaguely like a bluetooth related program complete access in Kerio's config anyway.
Anyone got any advice why this isn't working ... what am I doing wrong?
Also, when I connect using the Network Access shortcut on my ipaq, my desktop doesn't automatically authorise it. On my desktop in My Bluetooth Places, it is set up to automatically authorise all of the services, but I still get a message balloon asking to authorise the network connection (which caused problems as I had used TweakUI to disable those annoying balloon popups - until I realised I had to authorise this). I can click the always authorise checkbox on this and it's fine until I reboot my PC, and then have to do this all over again. And you cannot disable authorisation for this device as you cannot untick the secure connection in the Bluetooth configuration on the desktop PC.
Again any ideas?
