    I have installed the latest IBM Bluetooth II drivers, everything looks just like it should, i have the BT icon in the system tray and on the desktop. But when i do a search for my Sonyericsson Z1010 i cant find it, and i cant find the laptop from the phone either ...
    What can be the problem?

    just so you know, i have the BT on (Fn+F5) and the B in the systray is white :) So please, can ayone help me with this before i go crazy!
    (I have tried to install and uninstalled the software many times but it still does´nt work)

    regards Jonas Hedberg

    This may be too simple, but those devices need to be manually set to "discoverable" for you to find them.
