I see, there's another one who tried to establish a Bluetooth connection to a PB. Tried this with a PB903 (FW 2.0.5) both under Vista and Linux (only for file exchange). I cannot figure out this Bluetooth-PIN. Under Vista I've never been asked to enter one and hence on the PB I don't know which one to enter.
Vista finds the PB as "Pocket903" but I never managed to transfer a file. The PB itself finds my computer, but gives me only some ppp-error upon connection testing.
Under Linux I entered a PIN in /etc/bluetooth/pin but also no success.

Is there a step-by-step guide how to establish and test a BT connection (preferrably under Linux for better monitoring: hcitool, hci-dump etc.)? The manual is useless for this purpose.

Thanks!
