As a newcomer to mobile computing. How do I enable my PC
to communicate with Bluetooth devices, such as a PDA and
mobile phone (both Bluetooth enabled)? Do I need to add
some kind of eqiupment to the PC ?

If it helps, the operating system on my machine is XP.

Many thanks

More than likely you would need to add a Bluetooth adapter to your
computer (some computers already have bluetooth included).

I use a Belkin USB Bluetooth adapter for my PPC.. It will come with
Bluetooth software that will help you connect to your devices...

how do i know if my toshiba a70-rx1 has bluetooth in it. I have recently bought a canon ip90 printer and the bluetooth adapter for it. It would be great it i could make it wireless with out using the infared. There is pretty much no range with the infared the computer and printer need to be side by side. Any ideas would be great thanks
