BlueTooth Help, please.

Post by Kev »

Hi Young Guns!!
I have a BlueTooth Dongle that plugs into my USB. It searches for devices and finds mine and Carole's phones no problem, I have it set to be seen by other devices. When I try to bluetooth from my phone it can't find the computer. My phone finds Carole's phone and vice versa and I can BlueTooth between the phones, no problem. Any ideas? I have downloaded pics via this dongle before, what aren't I doing? TIA!

i dont know what program youre using on the comp for the bluetooth, is it BlueSoleil? But there should be options or settings where you can make the computers bluetooth visible. Sometimes if you find your phone on the computer, and then access you files, you can then send stuff to the computer, from your phone. other than that im stuck :D
