I have turned BT (device) on and set it to visible. IBM has their own bluetooth business, so I have to use theirs. They have whats called My Bluetooth Places. I can open it, see applications available, and even browse through my phones files. As well as transfer files. So I KNOW BT is working and it knows my PC.

BT Settings-> Devices: I can see my computer listed
BT Settings->COM Ports: I have a com port to my computer on COM8. However, when I try to make a New Outgoing Port, I select my computer, hit next and it only lists Ports: 2, 4, 6, and 8. WTF. So I select 8.

On my PC:
Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->Ports:
This lists two "Bluetooth Communications Port" one for COM5 and one fr COM9.

Every guide I've ever read says to use the same COM port. So how am I supposed to do that if my computer (Device Manager, as well as ActiveSync) only shows me 5 and 9, while my i760 only shows me 2,4,6, and 8.

Help please?

I Had this same thing happen to me on both my old xp machine and my vista machine and with 2 htc phone this may be a stooped question but did you use the windows help directions? thats how i got mine to work. the directions are kind of hard to fallow and to took me reading through it 3 or 4 times it actually helps I tried to right a walk through but I don't remember enough to be helpful
