Pairing LG VX8600 and Belkin BlueTooth USB Adapter

| Hi All,
I have an LG VX8600 that I'd like to pair with my notebook. I bought
a Belkin BlueTooth USB Adapter and tried to pair the two last night.
The phone sees the notebook and asks for a password. The
documentation says to provide "0000" or "1234". But, none of that
works. The pairing always fails. Obviously I'm missing something.
But, I don't know what. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Default codes like 0000 or 1234 are usually for devices without a keypad,
like headsets or bluetooth GPS modules.
When pairing two more "intelligent" devices like phones, PDAs and PCs,
you enter a code on one, and a dialog on the other should open asking for
the same code.
I suspect your PC is not "discoverable" for "security reasons. Try
pairing from the PC instead of the phone. Right click on the BT icon in
the PC's taskbar tray, open the manager and pair from there.

I had failed to create a virtual serial port. Once I did that, I was
able to connect with no problems.
