Hi all, I hope someone is able to help. I cannot get WM5's ActiveSync to
start the Bluetooth sync, yet everything is paired and set up correctly:

On Windows Vista:
The PPC is paired by Bluetooth (had to switch from Toshiba to Windows stack)
It automatically assigned in/out ports to the PPC
Mobile Device Centre Bluetooth is ON

On Windows Mobile 5:
The device is paired to the PC
ActiveSync is ticked as a service for the PC

But when I go to the PPC and click Menu > Connect via Bluetooth it says:
"Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports
ActiveSync. Would you like to set up a partnership now?"
Yes it is set up, and ActiveSync ticked!

I have tried this many times, cleared everything, rebooted, set it all up
again. No go.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have made a manual for setting up a bluetooth sync relation with Windows
Mobiles from Activesync
(http://modernnomads.info/wiki/index.php?page=Synchronizing+through+bluetooth).
Basically WMDV (Vista) and ActiveSync are the same product in a different
packaging, making the routes to settings different.

What I have noticed (and reported as a bug) is:
"that ONLY the first bluetooth port on the desktop will work due to a bug in
Windows Mobile/ActiveSync. Added Bluetooth Serial Ports will not be
recognized as providing an ActiveSync service."

Is this the case in your situation as well?

Jaap,

It appears your manual is for XP not Vista. Part of the problem is VISTA is
not setting up an ActiveSync Bluetooth connection just a standard connection.
The Vista Bluetooth stack seems to be the problem for me. There is NO
services tab on the Vista Bluetooth Devices dialog.

Do you have a differant manual for Vista?

Thanks,

Are you using the Vista BT stack, or a 3rd party stack? I know Toshiba
provides a stack that has trouble with ActiveSync.

Try deleting the paring on the desktop and device, then establish it from
the device instead of the desktop. ActiveSync should be an available
service at the end of pairing on the device.

It is available as a service on the PPC, with the Toshiba stack on the PC,
but the connection still does not work for some reason.
