Could anybody supply me with step by step instructions for how to connect the phone to a Windows machine running the Bluetooth stack included with XP SP2?

Currently when I try to run it, it correctly finds the computer in a list of available bluetooth devices, but when I select the computer name it gives me a traceback, the last line of which reads:

File "E:\System\Apps\Pyhton\my\simplebtconsole.py", line 41 in ?
address,services=socket.bt_discover()
socket.error2, 'No such file or directory')

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

-T.

Thanks - that helped a bit (I am running WinXP SP2, which seems to differ a bit from the Windows 2000 setup described).

I now get a bit further: instead of bombing out as described before, the script successfully detetcts the COM port:

Discovered: 00.0d.etc:01, {u'COM4,1}
Connectiong to ('00.0d.etc:01,1)

and stays like this for a while before I get a socket error:

socket.error: (54, 'Connection refused by remote host')

What am I missing?

Thanks,
