I am new to Bluetooth. I bought a Bluequest USB dongle for a notebook and an AmbiCom CF card for the Axim hoping to exchange information by Activesyncing. Does anyone know of a website/webpage that sets out in simple terms how to set up a Bluetooth/Activesync connection? The manuals I have for both products don't make it easy and seem to contradict each other with some of the information. I can sync using USB okay but feel I need a challenge!!
Does anyone have this configuration of products and managed to setup Activesync correctly? I know it is supposed to be easy but it just won't sync even though both products are paired with each other. The AmbiCom literature talks about setting up the Blue Neighborhood on the PC but because I have Bluequest installed instead, I don't have a Blue Neighborhood icon. My Bluetooth COM port (5) does not appear in the list of COM ports in ActiveSync on the desktop, only infra red. What am I doing wrong? Would it help removing both programs and starting from scratch?
Thanks for any information.
