Dell™ TrueMobile™ 300 Bluetooth™ User's Guide
Paired devices are always displayed in My Bluetooth Places, even if the remote device is out of range or not turned on. Verify that the remote member of the pair is within radio range and turned on and then attempt the connection again.
The remote device may either not be turned on or it may be out of range.
First verify that the remote device is turned on.
If the remote device is turned on, verify that it is in Connectable mode. From the Bluetooth Configuration panel, click the Accessibility tab and check the mode.
Perform a search for devices to verify that the device is within range.
The dial-up networking service will not start unless a properly configured modem is attached to the server.

If the client is hardwired to the LAN, unplug the hardwired connection to ensure that the test checks the wireless connection rather than the hardwired connection.
If the server has access to the Internet, open a browser on the client and connect to the World Wide Web. You may also Ping the server from the MS-DOS® prompt.
The Unknown Port error message usually means an attempt was made to connect a port that was in use.
Additional Bluetooth serial ports can be added if they are required.
Windows 98 cannot convert audio files with the extension m3u (e.g., myfile.m3u) into the Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio format used by Bluetooth headsets. Other versions of Windows (2000, ME and XP) can translate m3u audio files into the PCM format.
Possible solutions are to upgrade to a newer version of Windows operating system or to use an m3u-to-mp3 conversion utility to convert the file(s) into a format supported by Windows 98. (Conversion utilities are available as freeware or shareware on the Internet.)
