How do I enable Bluetooth on a T42 please?

#1 Post by teepee » Mon Aug 08, 2005 2:51 pm

Hi

Just got myself a T42, model 2374-K1G. According to the ThinkPad website it has Bluetooth (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... yle=lenovo) but I can't find it anywhere. However, in Device Manager, under Network Adapters I do see:
Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

Would the MT Mobile Connection be Bluetooth?

BTW,fabulous screen compared with my old Compaq :-)

Thanks!

No, that's your wired Gigabyte NIC.

Have you turned the BT card on with Fn+F5?

Many thanks!!!! yep, that fixes it :-)

The only paperwork that came with my T42 is a quick start sheet showing where the buttons & ports are, a "regulatory notice" booklet, and a "services and troubleshooting guide", none of which help me to figure out how to actually use the machine. Is there a resource you could recommend please for figuring out and setting up the features of the T42 please?

Again, many thanks!!!!

All the best :-)

Mike

Hit the blue Access IBM button at any time Mike, you'll find all of the info most folks could possibly want.

Need more help? Just ask here again.

Many thanks James :-).

Yep, looks like I ought to spend an hour or two working through all of that to set my system up just right.

Cheers!
