    ...yet the computer can still successfully send files to the cell phone. I can set up a passkey-enabled connection via Bluetooth, but whenever I try to send a file from my cell phone, it isn't able to find my computer. It does find several of the other computers in my dorm and the occasional other cell phone. I used to be able to transfer pictures to my computer via Bluetooth and would really like to be able to do so again after a nice vacation.

    I currently have the Dell Truemobile Bluetooth + EDR drivers from 6/21/2006, downloaded from dell.com/support. I'm pretty sure these are the same ones that used to work. Bluetooth card is enabled, as well as on in the BIOS, and I have allowed bluetooth devices to find my computer.

    In the mean time I tried to get the Infrared receiver working on my laptop, but could find neither the drivers on dell.com nor an Infrared section of the Control Panel.

    The cell phone is a Sony Ericsson Z520a, with Cingular.
