Hi,

I have bluetooth on my new swanky kick arse M200, and I brought a bluetooth
adapter for my PC.

The PC and the Laptop can see each other okay, but when I try to setup up
"File Transfer" my PC says that the laptop does not provide that service??

I've tried looking everywhere on the laptop for where that could be
configured, but no joy..

For those in the know, should it be possible to setup file transfers using
bluetooth on the M200....

Cheers


BTW the M200 rocks... If I'd change anything I'd say the touch pad could be
dumped (after two days I'm yet to use anything but the pen), the sound card
sucks (bet hey I have an mp3 player, so there) and it would be nice if there
was a nice built in webcam (like those little viaos)..... Oh, the external
USB Toshiba DVD/CDRW feels like its made out of edible parts.... But 2 days
of tableting and still happy.. although productivity is way way down.....
might have to leave it at home so I stop playing with it and get some work
done.... (not going to happen!)..

Have you shared any files on the system? You cannot access anything that
isn't shared.

I tried sharing some files but no joy.. (both simple and not simple
sharing)
Thanks for the suggestion though...

My desktop just says that the M200 doesn't offer any services.. In the
installation of the bluetooth software on the desktop it offers me a number
of options of what services the desktop will offer (network, ftp, file
transfer, serial port etc......)

I'ved looked everywhere for a similiar setup page on the M200 but no luck..

I'm going to get a wireless router anyway, so life will go on.... But I hope
I don't have similiar problems if I get other blue tooth stuff to go with
the tablet ...

Still, if anyone has already been through this... don't be shy..

Cheers

You're probably way past this, but I continually keep shooting myself in the
foot with the MS firewall (and others) getting in the way of using my
Toshiba.

You would be correct with the Internet Connection Firewall, Al. The new
firewall in XP SP2 won't do that at all.

I found the following post at:
http://www.tabletpcbuzz.com/forum/to...tooth%2Cmodule

*************
I have the BT module in my M200 and have a few questions, complaints, and
concerns. I've tried several BT devices with limited success.

Logitech BT keyboard and mouse seem to work with M200 module.

Logitech BT headset does not. Apparently M200 needs to support 'BT Audio
Gateway' which it doesn't seem to have.

Delorme Earthmate GPS BT PowerPack connects, but the program won't talk to
the GPS. It'll work connected by USB, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware
problem. And the GPS will talk via BT to a different PC, and a PDA. So I get
the impression it's the BT implementation on the M200 to blame.

There is a directory for BT on the M200 that has some kind of Microsoft BT
monitor. I tried installing that and it messed up everything (no Fn F8, no
BT antenna icon) and seemingly no way to connect to devices. I was unable to
reinstall the Toshiba BT stack without uninstalling the MS Monitor. What did
Toshiba put it there for if it won't work properly?

[snipped bottom]

***************

Now that last paragraph has me worried. When got my M200 there was a file
on the desktop called Bluetooth readme... So I read it, and it explained
how to install the bluetooth monitor I think this guy is talking about
(BtMonInst)... I too now do not have a working Fn F8 (nothing seems to
happen). I did get the blue tooth icon though on the task menu. If
installing that does screw the blue tooth, why on earth was it on the
desktop called readme!!! What did they expect was going to happen..

Have I done the wrong thing in installing that... If so how do I undo what
I have done...

Are you running Windows XP SP2 with the Tablet PC Edition 2005? There are
improvements with Bluetooth. You might want to some of the information
here:

Thats sounds like pretty positive stuff.. SP2 is not quite out yet though
is it... Maybe I need to hang on for a bit and see what happens once I get
SP2.. That looks like a major upgrade to Bluetooth though..

Do you know if this will be also be made available shortly for the other
operating systems (like 2000, XP)??

SP2 for XP includes the Tablet PC Edition 2005. Windows2000 has its own
service packs and doesn't necessarily follow the same timeline as other
operating systems. Each OS will have a service pack issued when necessary.

If you have Windows Update set to automatically receive updates and patches,
you'll get SP2 notification as soon as its available. The advantage is that
will only install the parts that you need.

Windows XP Service Pack 2, which includes Tablet PC Edition 2005, is
available as a full download from www.microsoft.com/downloads or if you have
an MSDN subscription. The availability on Windows Update (smaller download)
will follow shortly.

The Windows XP SP2 is for all editions of XP. I don't know about any
service pack for Windows 2000.
