wireless >> IPAQ 1940 and the Micosoft bluetooth transponder

Hi:

So I'm attempting to connect my ipaq with my laptop which is currently using
the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard/Transponder.

After spending an hour with HP tech support and playing around myself for a
while, I'm still unable to get them to work with each other. The ipaq is
able to see the laptop and visa versa. However if I understand what's going
on, it appears there are no services that either is sharing with each other.

HP basically said contact Microsoft or buy another Bluetooth transponder.

Question is, does the MS Transponder support anything more than the mouse
and keyboard it came with?

Thanks-
Dan

No it does not support anything else. If you can get the TDK Transponder I
understand it has all the support you need. Most Bluetooth adapters will not
have support for the Microsoft Keyboard or mouse, and you can not run two
adapters at the same time.

5. Bluetooth with iPaq 1940, SonyEricsson T630, Windows XP and Thinkpad R40 

Hi all..

I have a problem sync'ing my Thinkpad R40 (With Integrated Bluetooth)
with my iPaq H1940 and T630.. I would like to send / receive files
to/from my phone / iPaq with the Thinkpad... and also, I wanted to
browse the internet with my iPaq thru the Integrated Bluetooth on my
Thinkpad.

Here's what I tried... for at least a week, but no luck...

At the very beginning, I was trying to connect my cell phone and my
iPaq with the IBM Integrated Bluetooth on my Thinkpad.  I was able to
"see" the phone with my Wireless Network in the Control Panel. I had
no problem authenticating both hardware with my notebook.  However,
when it shows all the services available on both devices, there is
only "Dial-up networking" available for both devices.  I noticed there
was a driver available at IBM which is called IBM Integrated Bluetooth
II, which is for R40, so I installed it. However, that piece of "My
Bluetooth Places" does not work at all.  It says it cannot find my
bluetooth on my thinkpad.  (But from Control Panel, I have no problem
authenticating bluetooth devices, it's just the matter of having those
OBEX File Transfer services installed)..  I can't really see where I
can install additional services for my Thinkpad..


I was thinking it was my bluetooth's problem on the devices, but then,
I have no problem browsing files and send/receive files between my
iPaq and T630 (All services are available, i.e. Serial, OBEX,Dial-up
networking)..  It seems like it's the Thinkpad which is creating the
problem here...


How can I get those services installed on my Windows XP?

Here's the list of my hardware...

Thinkpad R40 (with Integrated Bluetooth)
Windows XP Professional SP1
iPaq H1940
SonyEricsson T630


Thanks a lot for anyone's help.

Regards,
Steve
