Bluetooth Peripheral Device cannot be found.

[nerys]

GRRRRR I just plugged it into the desktop PC for the first time and it works without asking for drivers. Tested connection works flawlessly. I think this is the good dongle.

SO either this is the "good" dongle and i need to dig up the other dongle OR there is something different about this computer even though both system were installed from exactly the same XP Disk.

I will dig up the other dongle and let you know.

Just for the heck of it here is this dongles information
Off course can't copy and paste that :-)

BTH\MS_RFCOMM\6&1E6C5899&0&0

there is a PAN entry as well:

BTH\MS_BTHPAN\6&1E6C5899&0&2

Those are both under Network Adaptors

There is a Bluetooh Section titled

Bluetooth Radios
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
Silicon Wave Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

AHH I think this is what you wanted

USB\VID_0C10&PID_0000\5&34A681E0&0&3

I will MARK this dongle now since I know it works on at least one machine and then try it on all the machines to see if its the dongle or the machines.

I will also find that other dongle and report back.

Information I found on Google seems to indicate Silicon Wave Bluetooth
Wireless Adapter uses Broadcom bluetooth chip.
