I posted the following in reply to another question in this forum, but as I have spent a long time finding the answer, I thought it may be useful for anyone using the DTL-1 card.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am using the DTL-1 connectivity pack (with 6210), a Dell L400 (XP Pro) and an ipaq 3600 with the TDK 'Bluepaq' jacket & have managed to get things working (after a LONG slog)

Before doing this, I could connect to my phone, but NOT to the ipaq for activesync etc

There seems to be an issue with the version of the digianswer drivers (the nokia card uses digianswer drivers) or the "Blue Tooth Connection Suite" software, of which Nokia supplies V1.08

I found that SocketCom are the vendors/suppliers, but then things went off track. They informed me that Nokia are supporting their own products, so I assumed a dead-end here

Not So! - I found the Bluetooth Software Suite site has an update to V1.09 here;
http://www.btsws.com/updates/default.asp
(NB: This is linked from the http://www.digianswer.com website - confused?!)

However when I downloaded this I was warned by pop-up not to install if I used a Nokia Connectivity Pack as it will not work.

As a last resort and having tried all else, I created a backup of my PC and upgraded using the BTSWS V1.09 patch above. Everything now works fine. (I suspect some commercials have not been resolved between SocketCom / Digianswers and Nokia)

I cannot guarantee that this will be the case with all devices, but it solved my problem with no adverse affects.

I am happy, but Nokia should sort it's support on this product swiftly, it's VERY confusing. Basically I got no help from Nokia, despite calling them several times "all lines busy, someone will call you back" etc etc

In General it seems that SocketCom are going to take over Nokia's support - see the following link to SocketComs' Bluetooth support forum - watch this space in general for an upcomming announcement. They also offer a firmware upgrade to Bluetooth 1.1 compliancy (though not, as yet, to DTL-1 users!)

and this one, to an announcement regarding Nokia support

Thanks Andy

I finally returned to this forum after being continually fustrated in not getting ActiveSync (build 12007) to work on my 3870 (with ROM 2.20)/DTL1/Dell Latitude/W2K combination.

I don't think I have any problems with my 6210 & Bluetooth with eith the 3870 or the DTL1

I have now updated to v1.09 with no apparent problems to Bluetooth overall.

This time I can now do a successful loopback test on the pc with the bluetooth configuration tool...thanks

ActiveSync still fires up on the pc as before but now just dumps the attempted connection without presently the previous error message "...Does not recognise device..."

Am now awaiting the Socketcom offer to "update" the firmware in the DTL1 which I understand is now on hold until August 2002.

Still not convinced that that will rectify my particular problem with ActiveSync
