Bluetooth communication with PC (activesync)

Hi all,

We're having some issues with Bluetooth at the moment, maybe any of
you can shed some light on them. Basically our setup is as follows:

1 PXA255 target with embedded bluetooth on board, running windows
CE4.2 (actually PPC2003SE) and 1 windows PC with a bluetooth dongle.

We can communicate with the PC when we've installed the Widcomm
bluetooth stack. Activesync works fine then, but the target won't
communicate with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack (service pack 2) when
we have a dongle which prefers to use that.

I find this very strange since the stack on our wince device is from
Microsoft and it doesn't seem to cooperate with the Microsoft stack on
a PC! Did anyone ever experience this as well? Any cures or
experiments that we may try to fix this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

On a side note: all PDA's i've seen so far seem to be using the
widcomm BT stack on the wince device and those are working fine with
any PC.
