Hi all..

I have a problem sync'ing my Thinkpad R40 (With Integrated Bluetooth)
with my iPaq H1940 and T630.. I would like to send / receive files
to/from my phone / iPaq with the Thinkpad... and also, I wanted to
browse the internet with my iPaq thru the Integrated Bluetooth on my
Thinkpad.

Here's what I tried... for at least a week, but no luck...

At the very beginning, I was trying to connect my cell phone and my
iPaq with the IBM Integrated Bluetooth on my Thinkpad. I was able to
"see" the phone with my Wireless Network in the Control Panel. I had
no problem authenticating both hardware with my notebook. However,
when it shows all the services available on both devices, there is
only "Dial-up networking" available for both devices. I noticed there
was a driver available at IBM which is called IBM Integrated Bluetooth
II, which is for R40, so I installed it. However, that piece of "My
Bluetooth Places" does not work at all. It says it cannot find my
bluetooth on my thinkpad. (But from Control Panel, I have no problem
authenticating bluetooth devices, it's just the matter of having those
OBEX File Transfer services installed).. I can't really see where I
can install additional services for my Thinkpad..

I was thinking it was my bluetooth's problem on the devices, but then,
I have no problem browsing files and send/receive files between my
iPaq and T630 (All services are available, i.e. Serial, OBEX,Dial-up
networking).. It seems like it's the Thinkpad which is creating the
problem here...

How can I get those services installed on my Windows XP?

Here's the list of my hardware...

Thinkpad R40 (with Integrated Bluetooth)
Windows XP Professional SP1
iPaq H1940
SonyEricsson T630

Thanks a lot for anyone's help.

Regards,
Steve
