Hi, I'm trying to share my T610's Orange internet connection to my laptop, and after reading a few guides, I have taken the following steps:
1) Pair devices both ways (Laptop to T610, T610 to laptop)
2) Display T610's services
3) Double click Dial-up Networking to connect
However, I cannot connect to my T610's dial-up networking feature. I receive the following error message:
The Dial-up Networking connection failed: The operation could not be completed. The error was 0x81000015
I don't know what this means, and I don't even know if I'm taking the right steps to use my phone's connection on my laptop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you use firewall and/or antivirus software, and what bluetooth software are you using?

Windows Firewall is enabled on the laptop, I have no antivirus software installed.
Bluetooth software? I have the WIDCOMM drivers installed, and I also have the Sony Ericsson Dial-Up Networking Wizard installed (that can't find the phone).
One thing that might help, I've just used the SE Dial-Up Networking Wizard to establish the connection with infrared, and it works ... so it's something to do with Bluetooth?
Thanks, Dave. |

After fiddling a little more, I have noticed that as soon as I connected the T610 to the laptop with infrared for the first time, it automatically installed "IR Modem", so I tried to find a "Bluetooth Modem" and it wasn't installed. So, I installed it manually, using Windows XP's install modem from a list feature. Still no luck.
If I go into the Sony Ericsson Dial-Up Networking Wizard, it searches for connected phones, and I see Bluetooth go active on the laptop. However, the T610 doesn't respond (and I can't see any activity shown by the arrows next to the Bluetooth icon), and that same error message is displayed on the laptop.
This is really bothering me now.  Does anyone have any ideas? |

Windows' and original bluetooth drivers can interfere. Are you using widcomm drivers for any other services (obex etc.) If not uninstall it completely and then use windows drivers.

Thanks for your reply. I have just formatted the laptop, and am currently installing XP.
It was due for a format anyway, and at least now I know I've got a clean canvas.
Before I formatted though, I removed the WIDCOMM drivers and XP installed its own. I paired the T610 and the laptop (from the laptop) and during the operation, XP installed two serial ports and a Bluetooth modem from the phone. WIDCOMM doesn't do this?
So I then ran the Sony Ericsson Dial-Up Networking wizard again, and it found the phone, but it couldn't find the Bluetooth modem when I went to create the connection.
I'll try again after I've formatted. |

Ok. Post what you did. I had the same problem as you did, in fact everytime I installed widcomm drivers an error occured- everytime different one. Now I don't use sp2, everything works better.

I see. I'd like to keep SP2 on the laptop, and to be honest I'd like to use the WIDCOMM drivers (I did do OBEX file transfers) but if I have to use the Windows ones I'm not too worried.
So far I have formatted the laptop, installed Windows 2000 and upgraded to Windows XP (blue screens if I install XP fresh, old-ish laptop) and now I'm installing SP2.
After I've done that, I'll plug the dongle in and let Windows install the drivers. Then I shall install the Sony Ericsson Dial-Up Networking Wizard and see if I can setup the connection.
Thanks for your help so far. |

Right, okay, SP2 is installed and Windows has installed its own drivers for the Bluetooth dongle.
I have paired my laptop and my T610, everything is fine there. During the pairing process, the laptop found two serial ports and a "Standard Modem over Bluetooth link" which it put on COM4.
If I use the Sony Ericsson Dial-Up Networking Wizard, it finds the phone, asks me what I would like to call this new connection, then prompts me to choose what modem I want to use to establish this connection. However, it doesn't find the Bluetooth modem.
If I use Windows XP's manual connection wizard, I can't select the Standard Modem over Bluetooth link on COM4 as the modem to use.
I'm all out of ideas. |

Here's an update: it was working...
I created a connection using Windows XP's wizard (connecting to the internet instead of connecting to another computer, oops) and it worked.
But now if I try to connect I receive the following error message:
Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly.
Doh! |

If you have enough patience, try to install windows without sp2, but you will need zone alarm or similar firewall to protect your pc. I use it that way. Or try searching esato cause there have been similar topics, maybe somebody solved the problem.

I have patience, I've been playing with this for three days now...
I will get it all working eventually! Another format coming up.
Thanks for all your help blayv, maybe I should write a tutorial if I get it sorted for future reference?

u don't need to reformat it again.... remove ya paired T610 from ya bluetooth place, remove all the bluetooth modem in control panel and pair again....
once u succeed paired the device with ya pc, please check which COM port was ya standard bluetooth modem link assigned to.
go to Control panel and check which COM port was ya modem assign to...
after that do a diagnotics of that modem. if the windows xp can detect the modem from there... create a normal dial-up in ya "my network place"
just forget about sp2 or not.... suggest u use windows in-built bluetooth driver.

And I've got it working! SP2 is installed, the WIDCOMM drivers, however, are not.
I did format the laptop (as I only just did it didn't really matter) to start a fresh, and everything went without a hitch.
I installed Windows 2000, upgraded to XP (laptop blue screens if I install XP fresh), installed SP2, plugged the Bluetooth dongle in, everything was detected and Windows installed it's own drivers ... paired the two devices, created a normal dial-up connection in Network Connections and everything works.
Even though I still don't know as to why it wouldn't work before (stupid WIDCOMM?!) I'm happy that it does now.
Thanks for your help guys,
Dave. |
