Afternoon everyone, i am having a problem with my new Belkin Bluetoth PC card.

After installing the new card in my laptop, i cannot get PC suite to allow me to connect via bluetooth, i can pair my laptop and phone, 8800, but pc suite will not recognise or connect to the phone, i am not able to highlight the bluetooth option in the connections menu. any ideas ????

Are the drivers that come with your card among those supported by PC Suite?

Thanks for that, the card is a Belkin F8T002, i have updated the driver to the latest on their web site but still no joy, not sure how i find out if it is one of the stacks on that list ????

When i click on the Nokia Connection Manager, the message is :-

 "Cannont use connection type.  Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available. (code: OpenMedia)"

Hello, My PC Suite worked with DTech Bluetooth USB Dongle and Microsoft Bluetooth stack. My phone is an 6300

I can explore the files on the phone via "my bluetooth places", however i still can connect through PC Suite !!!!!!!

Any ideas ?????????????

Sound like your bluetooth software is IVT BlueSoleil ? Try uninstall your bluetooth software, reboot. If your bluetooth card works with Microsoft build-in bluetooth software, then it works with PC Suite.

Have tried uninstalling a few times, just cant get pc suite to accept bluetooth card .................

After uninstalling, reboot. go to Control Panel - system - hardwares - device manager. Check if there is an item called ' bluetooth radios ', any !mark, ?mark ?

Go to control panel, check if there is an item ' bluetooth devices '. If there is, then enter this item to pair with your phone. Other, run pc suite, click help - system info, find out which bluetooth stacks. Maybe your bluetooth software is not supported by pc suite.

[craigr]

When i click help, i get no option for system info ????

[tnhan]

? At main screen of pc suite, click help, near bottom of pop-up you could see ' system info ' button. Pc suite only supports some certain bluetooth stacks.

[tnhan]

Sorry! Help - about pc suite... - system info.

Got it :-

"PC Connectivity Solution:

Version 8.47.6.0

[Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver:]

Version 7.1.8.0

Operating system:

Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3

Language: English

Language for non-Unicode programs: English

Detected Internet browsers:

- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (Default browser)

Detected Bluetooth stacks:

- Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 5512)"

Looks like it is not detecting my new card ????

You should try Connection Manager again. Check such as Bluetooth (Microsoft). (do not install the sw came with your card if windows recognised it).

[tnhan]

As I posted, pc suite doesn't work with the sw came with my BT. Luckyly, windows supports my BT, so now pc suite works with microsoft bluetooth stack & my BT USB. Does windows recognise your card ? your card work with microsoft Bt software ?

Windows will not recognise the card, looks like i will have to invest in the dell bluetooth module, of change my nokia 8800 !!!!!

Thanks for all your help.

You should buy a Microsoft Bt mouse / keyboard set, but only use the Bt USB part ! This Bt USB must work with Microsoft BT stack.
