Hi everyone! just wanna find out whether using the MSI BT receiving key for like a mini network or PAN is good enough? how true is their 200m claim? and wat can i do once they are connected? can i play LAN games over it? and will my remote terminal be able to access the internet using a cable connection which is on the host terminal? thanks! |

200m is for the Bluetooth adapter module (which is only for those msi mainboards with the special headers), the  usb keys are for all PCs with USB ports works on a much shorter range (their claim is 25m at max transmission power)
you can use it for a small network (up to 7 devices in a network called a piconet (see sticky post for more info on technology)
it works much like a network card (which is what it actually is, but primaly designed for PANs, not LANs)

you could, if you share your net access to them. in this case, net access could be from a GPRS session, another LAN connection with net access, or a dial-up to your ISP from your modem.
the rest of your question is no longer on topic.  |

How many of us here is experiencing problems with the adapter not working when we turn on our PCs? I have to remove and insert it again to make it work.
I think this has something to do with the USB drivers(?) |

@gowin, what you mean is shutdown, turn off pc, leave msi plugged, turn on, boot pc then you get an error? hmmm, i will try that later. i never had that scenario because every time i turn off the notebook i remove the adaptor, otherwise, it will break when i put the notebook in the targus case  |

@arnoldc
no error messages actually, the adapter just wont work until i remove it and put it back. the BT LED wont flash at all, just a steady red. but power indicator stays lit.
beatrix have mentioned this to me before, same with MFB. so i just wanna ask if there are others experiencing the same. |

maximizing T68i bluetooth connectivity
though not specific to msi adaptors, these procedures were tested using them.
the T68i has two serial interfaces. with that i configured msi to have a connection to these two via Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 in the bluetooth places.
i assigned Serial Port 1 to COM5 and Serial Port 2 to COM6. i enabled both of these in the Phone Monitor Options.
i then configured float's FMA to connect to COM5.
the end result is that i surf the internet using GPRS via bluetooth, send/receive text messages via FMA, sync phonebook or send edited pics via SonyEricsson Image Editor or sync via XTND Connect, all at the same time.

619, i am referring to the T68i serial ports, not the computer physical/virtual serial ports. |
