Re: Port not available ..... when connecting via bluetooth

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Can you tell us how the PC gets it's Bluetooth? Is it via a plug-in USB
dongle device? Is it built-in to the PC? If built-in, might there be a
switch that turns it on and off to save battery?

I've used a dongle for this operation before and, when the dongle is removed
from the PC, you get this error, because there's no port there, although the
ActiveSync settings are unchanged and, if you reinsert the dongle, will
work. I would suppose that turning off built-in Bluetooth would have
similar effects.

As I said in my original message...this worked one time and then will not
work again. The port is there and enabled and the Connection setting in
Activsync points to the aforementioned port.

Hi,

See http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=41365. Suggest you check
the setting "Allow connection to one of the following:" setting under
File -> Connection Settings in ActiveSync.

I am trying to connect my Treo 700W to my Toshiba Tablet PC running XP.
the
first time the connection went smoothly. But then I had to leave and
took
my
phone with me. When I returned and tried to re-establish the bluetooth
connection I received the message: "Port Not Available....Quit any
programs
that may be using the port and reconnect." I have restarted my
computer
and
soft reset my Treo but am still receiving the message.

Ideas?
