Hi,
I have notebook Acer TravelMate 4650 with an integrated bluetooth adapter but I don't know, how to connect to my phone (Siemens E71). When I press my BT button I see a bluetooth icon and a title "Switched device to discoverable mode but I cannot find my notebook in the phone. The mobile phone is set correctly. How can I solve my problem?
Thanks
Karel

In general you should switch the bluetooth to discoverable mode. (Something in the line of right click -> discoverable, no timeout). Can you see the phone from your laptop?

Are you running Bluetooth on your computer? The standard Linux Bluetooth program is bluez . Try "service bluetooth restart" and then "hciconfig -a". That should tell you if bluetooth is running on your machine.
I use gnokii to link to my Sony-Ericsson phone with bluetooth, but there are many other ways of doing it.
