Author Nokia HS-11W & Windows Bluetooth

Hi Guys,

Hopefully someone will be able to answer this simple question...

I have a Nokia HS-11W Bluetooth Headset - it's okay, fairly comfortable
with a good battery life for my needs.

Now, I'd very much like to use this headset with my Bluetooth-enabled
IBM Thinkpad so that I can use it for Skype etc. I think what I'm
refering to is sometimes called 'audio gateway' functionality?

Should this be possible? I've tried so far, have got Windows to see the
device, pair with it, but upon browsing what Bluetooth services are
available, it finds none... Should I not be using the default Windows
XP SP2 Bluetooth drivers, but some others instead?

Any help you can profer would be much appreciated!

Rgds,

David McClelland

I understand that XP SP2 broke the 'audio gateway' profile. I'm not that
familiar with what needs to be done to reenable it though..

David, this is way past when you asked but if you still have problems,
follow this carefully step by step and it will work. There are 23 steps
and you must avoid any guessing instead of following their sequence:
