I'll try to help you as much as I can.

This is how you configure ActiveSync with Bluetooth

First you have to find the COM Port associating with Bluetooth, and you can find that from the Windows Device Manager, and then expand the Ports (COM & LPT) tree.

Start ActiveSync without the Pocket PC. Click on File > Connection Settings. In the Connection Settings Windows, select "Allow serial cable or infrared connections to this COM port"Select the COM port that's associated with your Bluetooth. Uncheck "Allow USB ..." and "Allow network (Ethernet)". Click Ok, and your PC is ready.

Since Bluetooth vendors have different implimentation, this is as far as I can go. At this point, you might want to consult the manufacturer of your MSI dongle.

I hope I was albe to help you out.

I was going to say the same thing rommel, I have BT from Belkin, and I had to read the instructions very carefully from belkin to get it correct. I still feel like it is not working fully correctly, but it does what i want...so.

I also have A Belkin BT cf card and have tried for over a week to get it to work, I've read everything blekin has out as well as microsoft and Del still cannot sync with my Laptop, I can transfer files with my laptop and even my cell but whenever I try to sync up it says it can't find the device. I'm using comport five on both the bluetooth and activesync......If I can get it to sync I'd be more then happy! :cry:
