First the device must be paired with the computer.

From PC

1.     Search for BT devices on the PC.

2.     Select one of the found devices, right click and "Pair device".

Or from phone

1.     Add a new device in Settings, Connectivity, Bluetooth, My devices on the phone.

2.     Select one of the found devices and pair.

Connect BT Layer

For phones from JP-8 (TCP/IP):

Windows BT Driver

Using Windows BT you can connect to the PAN PAN User service on the phone from the PC side but not from the phone. If you try to connect the PC from the phone the phone tries to connect to a PAN Network Access Point (as well as the PAN user profile) The Network Access Point is not supported in the Windows driver and therefore the procedure fails.

1.     In Windows go to Settings, Network Connections.

2.     Right click the Bluetooth connection and select "View Bluetooth network devices".

3.     Select your device with PAN user profile (not NAP).

4.     Press Connect.

Note: It takes around 1 minute before link local IP-addresses are allocated on WinXP. Vista will be faster.

D-link BT driver

Using D-link you can connect to the PAN PAN User service from the phone but not from the PC. On the PC side only the PAN Network Access Point service is available. In our case we need the "PAN PAN user" profile which is not supported by the D-link BT PC SW. However if we connect from the phone side we can get access to the PC.

1.     On the phone go to the Settings, Connectivity, Bluetooth, My devices menu. Select your PC and press "Connect".

Note: It takes around 10 seconds before link local IP-addresses are allocated on WinXP.
