okaussie Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I tried the Widcomm with Vista SP1. Same problems as discussed above. I have been able to instal 5.0.5.178 Bluesoleil and as discussed above, the HotSync works and nothing else.Still can't get anything to work with my Trendnet dongle.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon8452 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Don't know if you are still having the issues, as its been 3 months, however this might be of use to anyone searching the forums for bluetooth support in server 2008 anyways. You can enable the Microsoft bluetooth stack in server 08 with some inf file modifications, as outlined in the post here:http://www.gilkirkpatrick.com/Blog/post/In...erver-2008.aspxHis instruction are for 64 bit windows, but it can be done in 32 bit versions also by replacing the NTamd64 entries in his post with NTx86This gives another option for those having trouble getting others stacks such as widcomm or buesoleil working, or who just prefer to use the native stack rather than a 3rd party one.

okaussie Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Still having some of the same problems.I purchased an ANYCOM USB-250 BT dongle that is supposed to be VISTA compatible. Downloaded the latest drivers for it and installed it.Followed Gil's tool, and even overwrote the drivers with the ones from ANYCOM.The only thing that worked is OBJECT PUSH.I got the ISSC BT dongle to work just like above. OBJECT PUSH and HOTSYNC would work and that's it.The Trendnet dongle was like the ANYCOM, only the OBJECT PUSH would work.So, I am back to using the ISSC and Hot Sync only for my PDA.All of this started with the install of SP1 on VISTA and installation of Server 2008 SP1.Without SP1 on VISTA the thing worked like a charm.So, the problem is between Bluetooth and SP1 on both OS's.I have been posting on Gil's blog if you need more info.If I could find out what the preferred BT dongle is that works, I would gladly purchase one to fix this problem.PALM is not going to write drivers for my Tungsten T3 and this would be the only way to continue to use it.TIABill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
