Why can't 2 computers with blutooth see each other. Neither one recognizes
the other as having PAN services installed. I am able to successfully connect these in the blutooth devices yet when trying to connect them through the Personal Area Network it doesn't see the connection as having PAN. I.E. the window is blank and running a search says none are found. Both systems are set to allow connections. Note: These were both connected previously through Windows XP and worked fine. Also both do have the same workgroup name. |

Okay, I think I figured this out. Apparently with Windows Vista I am no
longer allowed to connect to 2 devices simultaneously. In Windows XP I could connect to the internet using my broadband phone with bluetooth and at the same time connect to another XP computer at home. Once I disconnected from the internet and removed the bluetooth device connection for the phone I was able to make the local network connection. Quite a pain since this means I need to run back and forth from my pcs to my phone and back again to reset the passkey every time I need to change from the internet to a local connection and back. |
