Using Bluetooth DUN service to share a modem

[twynne]

Hi all,

I've recently (with help from this forum!) got my MS bluetooth dongle working with latest widcomm stack v1.4.2.18 and connected the MS mouse/keyboard - all working great (huge Thanks to Phantasm!)

Next thing - part of the point in this exercise is that I wanted to share my modem on the desktop (with configuration above) via bluetooth with a laptop (running TDK PC Card and TDK stack v1.4.2.18 as well). I've configured the desktop Bluetooth DUN to use the modem I've referred to. On the laptop I've established a new DUN connection with my office signon details and set it to use the Bluetooth modem. All fine.

When I dial the connection on the laptop, I can see it connect to the DUN service on the desktop. I get two popup notifications on the desktop saying the connection was successful, but then on the laptop a message saying there was a hardware failure in the modem.

Any thoughts? Is there any reason that the DUN service can't be connected while the mouse/keyboard are in use?


TIA,

Tom
