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

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Me either, I'm afraid. I've not seen that. You're trying to initiate the
Bluetooth ActiveSync connection, in all cases, from the device side, NOT the
PC side, right? That's the end that has to start it. If the Treo is
shutting down Bluetooth, that sounds like a Treo-only effect that you might
want to contact the device vendor about...

Bluetooth is via USB dongle. I didn't remove the dongle. I removed the
phone from the bluetooth area. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Here's a different twist. Bluetooth is turned on the TREO, Port is
configured (viewed device manager, ports to make sure). Activesync is
configured to connect to that port. When I try to connect, the TREO
thinks
about it and then SHUTS DOWN THE BLUETOOTH ON THE TREO. Go Figure!

So now I'm not sure what activesync is looking for or why it is shutting
down the bluetooth on the TREO.

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?
