Hi,

I am currently programming for the Nokia 3650 mobile phone using its bluetooth capabilities. I have encountered the following problem:
I have opened an L2CAP socket on the mobile listening at a specific port for incoming connections. From a Linux PC (using BlueZ) I am trying to connect to the mobile phone at the specific port. The problem is that the connection is not accepted.
When I reversed the roles (connecting from the mobile to the PC) the connection was made.
I also observed that I can't perform a pairing between the mobile and the PC - I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thnx

Symbian OS does not require authentication/pairing for outgoing connections (it depends on the remote device if the authentication is done).

For incoming connections, it can be determined on the application-level if authentication or authorisation is needed.

So pairing isn't the problem here because I specify in the program for the accepting socket that no authorisation/authentication should be used.
The problem could be caused by RSocket::Accept() then. Immediately after this call the RequestStatus of the socket gets
a big negative value and not KErrNone. So maybe there could be something wrong with this call.
I also cannot run the BTPointToPoint example. Again there is something wrong during accept so I believe the two problems share the same nature.
Could it have to do with any configuration options of BlueZ under Linux? I sincerely do not believe it to be so but then you never know.
Has anyone run the BTPointToPoint example under Linux???

Problem solved.
I had allowed for authorisation to be performed on
incoming socket operations so the connection was getting rejected because of that.
Thanks
