Vista Bluetooth PAN Functionality Dimitri Glazkov 02-02-2007

Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have a brand-spanking new
Blackjack and a pretty Vista Ultimate RTM, and they do splendidly well
ActiveSync'ing over Bluetooth, but when I go to set up PAN, the
Blackjack ain't on the list. What's up with that?

There are two similar threads on this already, but since neither had
any activity for a few days, I thought I'd start a new one -- to keep
the awareness, so to say.

included with the bluetooth device for Vista?

One other item I wanted to be sure of, when you say "ActiveSync'ing"
you are using Windows Mobile Device Center correct?

Thanks Sir_Dude, answers for your questions:

* I am using Native Bluetooth stack, Dell 350 Bluetooth adapter built
into a Dell Inspiron 9300. The adapter had to have its firmware
updated to work with Vista, but it's working now.
* Yes, I am using Windows Mobile Device Center, and "ActiveSync'ing"
stands for "being able to access and work with files on Blackjack over
Bluetooth". The actual Outlook sync I haven't tried as I don't need to
-- happens over the air via Exchange.

Does the BlackJack see the PC? If you attempt to Find new Devices
will it show the laptop? Vista may need to be set to be bluetooth
visible. If this is possible, can you push a file over to the PC?
