"Welcome to The Bluetooth Guide
Welcome to The Bluetooth Guide. This guide has blossomed from a simple beginning to become the 'net's most extensive resource for Bluetooth help & information. Over 100 different USB Dongles, PC Cards and laptop models have now been successfully setup with this guide. After following this guide you should be able to establish communication between your PC and any Bluetooth 1.1 compliant device. Over 50 devices have already been successfully tested.
Who this guide is for
The purpose of this guide is to take you through a step by step process, at the end of which you should be able to establish communication between your PC and any Bluetooth enabled device. This guide is based on the Widcomm Bluetooth suite which only runs on Microsoft Windows. If you use a different system, for example MacOS or Linux/Unix, this guide will not be able to provide you with a complete solution but much of the information should be useful to you. I do not provide any kind of guarantee that this will work for every single case, it is a free resource of information, and exists only to attempt to help people. "
