Hi all

I have a work Lenovo X301 with built in bluetooth that I am trying to connect to my iPhone 3GS to enable tethering.

Using the built in software I have initially been able to pair the device but have not been able to connect any services as I am advised by XP "no COM ports available".

I think this is driven by the number of default COM ports being used (imaging, fax, document sharing etc.)

I have searched multiple times for an answer to this without much success.

I do not have admin access rights on the work laptop so can not delete any of the default services.

Any idea on how to move forward/

Cheers

Simon
