Please log in for more thread options Bluetooth is via USB dongle. I didn't remove the dongle. I removed the
phone from the bluetooth area. Don't know if that makes a difference.
Here's a different twist. Bluetooth is turned on the TREO, Port is
configured (viewed device manager, ports to make sure). Activesync is
configured to connect to that port. When I try to connect, the TREO thinks
about it and then SHUTS DOWN THE BLUETOOTH ON THE TREO. Go Figure!
So now I'm not sure what activesync is looking for or why it is shutting
down the bluetooth on the TREO.
