PdaNet BT DUN with GPS not working

smeg36 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2008, 10:38 PM

With the Alltel ROM I can't seem to get PdaNet to work over BT. With the stock ROM I would connect to Activesync over BT, then connect to PdaNet when it recognized my device. With the Alltel ROM, I get the following error when I try to check the 'Enable Bluetooth DUN' box:

Unable to assign COM Port, please make sure COM7 or COM4 is available on your device. Bluetooth DUN will remain off. (err=2404)

Obviously, the GPS is using COM4. I have no idea what's using COM7. But I can't use BT DUN. Any ideas of a way to make this work?

Edit-I just tried it over USB as well, and it didn't work with that either. PdaNet is running on by my Touch and PC, but neither can see each other.

Edit 2-Works over USB now after rebooting PC, but I'm getting the same error over BT.

I just had the same issue with vista64. I just uninstallled pdanet from the device and vista and reinstalled. But now my gps isn't working. It didn't work well anyway so I'm happy Pdanet is working.

I like revision A. I seem to have much more stable connections and get 1.6 Mbs down and 0.4 Mbs up.

Thanks for the help. Uninstalling and reinstalling on both my PC and Touch did the trick. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling on just the Touch, but that didn't work. I can also connect via BT if I connect to WMDC over BT, even with the BT DUN box unchecked in the PdaNet settings on my Touch. Working great now, got over 2MB down with a speed test while tethered!
