| 239768 | 2004-05-27 10:56:00 | I have set up a bluetooth dongle & software on my PC to be able to communicate with my Notebook (it already is Bluetooth enabled). I am prompted for a PIN number when trying to access files on the linked computer but can not see where this PIN number is initially set up on both machines. Nor can I work out how to access the printer on my PC from the Notebook. Any suggestions as the installation notes do not help.?? |

| 239769 | 2004-05-27 11:46:00 | there may be two issues here, a pin number is issued with the bluetooth device, maybe in the manual or floating around in box on a piece of paper or card. also you may try entering your own pin number ie 1234 on both devices so they can sync. ( although how you enter this pin on the printer may be tricky without an lcd screen and some function keys ?) good luck |

| 239771 | 2004-05-28 12:20:00 | I use bluetooth to transfer files between my phone and my PC. When I initiate a connection from the PC it asks me to enter a PIN number - I make one up. When I've done that my phone asks me to enter in the PIN number I had just set on the PC. Once the phone and the PC verify they've both received the same PIN number, the connection takes place. Its just a security measure so that somebody walking past can't connect into your PC/phone/whatever. If I wanted, I could use a different number every time I wanted to establish a connection between the two - I don't have a pre-set PIN that I have to use. Mike. |

| 239772 | 2004-05-28 12:22:00 | Incidentally, this doesn't seem to work correctly if I initiate the connection from the phone - the PC never then asks me to verify the PIN (and so the phone tells me a connection couldn't be established). But that's not a problem - it works fine the other way. Mike. |

Glad to help :) I bought a new bluetooth dongle the other day, and somehow managed to understand that bit from the manual (it was quite difficult to understand :)) Mike. |
