Bluetooth: Adding "File Transfer" Service?Got a small laptop (Asus eeePC 901) with a pared-down version of XP
Pro on it. Also have an HP desktop with fullblown XP Pro on it. The laptop sees the desktop and vice-versa, but neither shows anything that looks like a service that supports file transfers between the devices. Am I just not doing it right, or is that service something that I need to explicitly install? On Jan 13, 9:18 am, PeteCresswell <PeteCr***@gmail.com> wrote:

This works when sending from the desktop pc to the laptop. But going the other way, the laptop cannot find the desktop in Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard | Send To | Browse. OTOH, on that same laptop, My Bluetooth Places | Find Bluetooth Devices shows the desktop PC, as does Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood. i.e. My Bluetooth Places sees the PC but fsquirt.exe does not. Can anybody shed some light? Why are you wasting your time with Bluetooth?
BlueTooth is designed for having Hand-Held Devices interact with the PC,...which in may cases will require a Utility from the manufacturer of the Hand-Held Device in order for it to work conveniently. With PC-to-PC use Ethernet (wired or wireless), combined with Windows File Sharing abilities. -- Show quoteHide quotePhillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "PeteCresswell" <PeteCr***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:ef6d6c3f-41f1-4b96-85db-de412e11625d@n21g2000vba.googlegroups.com... > On Jan 13, 9:24 am, PeteCresswell <PeteCr***@gmail.com> wrote: > >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883259#81 > > This works when sending from the desktop pc to the laptop. > > But going the other way, the laptop cannot find the desktop in > Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard | Send To | Browse. > > OTOH, on that same laptop, My Bluetooth Places | Find Bluetooth > Devices shows the desktop PC, as does Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood. > > i.e. My Bluetooth Places sees the PC but fsquirt.exe does not. > > Can anybody shed some light? > > > On Jan 13, 4:16 pm, "Phillip Windell" <philwind***@hotmail.com> wrote: Locked-down corporate environment.> Why are you wasting your time with Bluetooth? > BlueTooth is designed for... No WiFi access, no LAN access by the PC in question. Want to flip the occasional file between my itty-bitty "walking around" PC and my workstation. fSquirt works. Just seems more Linux-like than Windows-Like. i.e. it works from a command line, but there's no UI around it. On Jan 13, 10:34 pm, PeteCresswell <PeteCr***@gmail.com> wrote:

Microsoft's own SP2 built-in Bluetooth protocol stack is extremely limited. I don't give advice on how to skirt locked down Corp Policy.
If what you are doing is not against Corp Policy then the Corp IT people can help you do what you need to do in a way that does not violate policy. -- Phillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "PeteCresswell" <PeteCr***@gmail.com> wrote in message Locked-down corporate environment.news:3150d84e-c3bf-48f1-b77d-5b867f3fbac8@l16g2000yqo.googlegroups.com...
