Ok, I see what you are saying in needing a little more detailed
information here:) Sorry, but I thought you might be able to read my
mind?!?!
I have a treo650 and a Dell Latitude D820.
I've paired the two both from my palm and my computer. I think they
are connected because the phone makes a noise. Also, the computer
comes up with a transfer files option after the pairing and I'm able
to try to transfer files but have not been successful at it yet. When
the phone is black, and I start the transfer process, the phone comes
up and it says they are connected so that leads me to believe they are
in fact connected.
When I go into Blue Tooth Information Exchanger on my laptop, then
Options, then Paired Devices, I can see my phone there but in that
application, it doesn't allow you to change or even view any
settings. When I go into the Blue Tooth Settings, the phone is not
there. My keyboard is there that I use daily, my mouse is there that
I use daily and an ear device is there that I hooked up a long time
ago but haven't used in months. Any of those I could right click and
view which com they are using but for some reason, the treo doesn't
show up there.
Thanks for all of your help and I hope I'm stating this clear enough
to make sense.
