Bluetooth® is named for Tenth Century Danish king Harald Blåtand, known in English as Harold Bluetooth Gromson, who is reputed to have been so fond of blueberries that his teeth were stained blue. The Bluetooth symbol is a bindrune that combines the runes for Harald Blåtand’s initials — “h” looks like an asterisk.

Here is a great link that describes the entire breakdown of piconets and modular bluetooth framing. Even has some great pix.\n\nhttp://www.wipo.int/cgi-pct/guest/getbykey5?KEY=01/30031.010426&ELEMENT_SET=DECL

mine did the same thing last week, I spent hours on the phone to BT somewhere in India, I am married to an Indian guy so no racist remarks from me....however, I couldn't understand a bloo** word he was saying, I told him all I could and thankfully was transferred for another half hour to an Indian speaking woman, no better, they gave me a number to call and said it was a problem with the equiptment and to contact whoever sold it to me,I told them it was BT which was why I was calling etc, etc, etc, so, they tested(they said) and told me to get a person out to look at my PC as it was this at fault not their wireless, etc, etc, etc,..luckily for me, the guy who fixes my PC is an honest chap, I called him and told him etc, and he said I should just disconnect all wires from my wireless thing and leave for half hour, reconnect and see if it works, and it did!! apparantly if you do this a signal will be searched for... try it, it saved me money and it saved me having to talk to impossible people again...why do we use BT?????

A bluetooth device on a PC should install a Bluetooth COM port during its installation routine. Its almost like a legacy emulator.\nI assume you've got a PC with either a bluetooth dongle or its already built in.\nYou will need to set up the bluetooth device properly including setting a BT name for the BT device (sorry got bored with typing Bluetooth). Without knowing what hardware you're using its difficult to tell you what to do.\nOnce its installed, make sure that the PC isn't hidden nor the phone (in respect to BT).\nOpen PC Suite\nIt runs a "Get Connected" routine which should work ok.\nIt is a bit tempermental though.\nIf all goes wrong... turn off PC, turn off phone, remove bluetooth device (if possible), then PC on, start the BT device (you may need to reinsert) then turn on the phone and go through the PC Suite connection routine again.\n\nHope this helps\n\nDHW

BlueTooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago. \nBluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets. Wireless signals transmitted with Bluetooth cover short distances, typically up to 30 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth devices generally communicate at less than 1 Mbps.

I thought Motorola cell phones was the one that had bluetooth not a computer.

It may be true if you're on the Verizon network, but no, it's not correct.\n\nMany bluetooth devices can provide an internet connection to a bluetooth enabled laptop. In fact I know T-mobile carries one that is not made by Blackberry.

This newpaper article states what I have been saying for years (and my mother before me RE: transistor radios).\n\nhttp://www.hearinglossweb.com/discus/messages/11/807.html?SundayMarch1920060829am

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect devices like PDAs, Cell Phones, Laptops etc via a secure short range radio frequency (about 30 feet max)\nIf you are trying to connect a cell phone to another device, you must enable the Bluetooth connection.  This can usually be found uner Tools/Settings/Connection and selecting Bluetooth Link.\nIf you are not trying to connect a cell phone, a device either will automatically search for another Bluetooth signal, or you must turn it on from a menu.

The name Bluetooth was born from the 10th century king of Denmark, King Harold Bluetooth who engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other. The inventors of the Bluetooth technology thought this a fitting name for their technology which allowed different devices to talk to each other.

They make Bluetooth wireless headsets, so you need a Bluetooth device that attaches to your computer, and then you can use the headset with it.

And now the easy way.  There is usually a sticker somewhere near the keyboard advertising that the laptop is Bluetooth enabled.  That is one thing that some companies think that you should be proud of.

I believe it is theoretically possible, but not practical.  The bluetooth technology that is common now has a very low bandwidth.  That is why you just generally see keyboards, mice, and some printers on bluetooth.  If you were to try all-out networking or gaming through bluetooth, it would be as bad (if not worse) than if it were a dialup connection.  They are quickly coming out with new generations of bluetooth that can handle more data at one time, though.  Just get a normal broadband router and set up your home network that way.  You won't sacrifice any speed at all, compared to doing it through bluetooth.

It's a hardware thing.\n\nYou must have the bluetooth adapter on your host (machine, pc, computer, whatever you wanna call it).\n\nMost bluetooth adapters come with the software necessary to operate them.  Most of that software will (unfortunately) stick something on your desktop
