Hi All,

I have had a Nokia N95 for a couple of years now and sometime ago I found it more convenient to connect this to PC Suite using Bluetooth which gave me more scope to move the phone around to get a stronger signal as I use it's modem for my PC internet connection.

Following good practice I have always configured my PC's to have an Admin account and a limited user account for everyday use.  Since using the bluetooth connection I find that as soon as I log out of the limited user account in order to log in as the administrator to install or update some software, I find I can no longer connect to the internet.  It seems as though PC Suite cannot access the modem even though PC Suite appears to have connected to the phone ok.  The only way I have found to solve the issue is to unpair and re-pair the phone which results in the Connection Manager reinstalling the bluetooth modem, which appears to reset / refresh things.  Of course as soon as I log out of the admin user and return to the limited user I have to repeat the unpair /pair process again.  I have been through several Nokia PC Suite updates which have completed without reporting any errors and have done fresh install when reinstalling XP but this has always been a persistant problem.I wonder if this scenario ever featured in any testing before PC Suite was released but it should be straight forward enough for anyone to replicate this issue using bluetooth.

I had hoped that when the new Ovi Suite option popped up within PC Suite that this update would have fixed this but unfortunately no such luck.

It's more a PC issue. If you log from Admin to User the connection has to be restarted.

Hi, that doesn't seem right to me.

I wasn't expecting the internet connection to still be active when logging off from one user and logging into another. When logging in as another user the bluetooth does seem to be connecting to the PC as the phone is showing as connected in PC Suite.  The only bit it falls down on is that it then won't allow the 'one touch access' in PC Suite to connect to the internet without going through the Nokia Connection Manager and Bluetooth Config to unpair and re-pair the phone.

During user switch the OS will close some drivers. The connection must be re-established.
