Important Message

Hi!          I am a novice in computer without any proper academic Certificate &  training from any institution.  I just explore during my leisure.  


 So try at your own risk.                                         Don’t be worried; just joking!!!!!!!!!

Just few days back I got same problem with my nokia phone its 2600 classic model. While I wanted to connect it to my laptop  samsung, via bluetooth I got same  error message.

"cannot authenticate the phone."  etc etc.

My PC Suit is 7.1.40.1 and Operating System windows7 Ultimate, 32 bit. But I think it’ll works for other version also. Here I got the solution.

Step 1-                  I have searched all possible settings in Bluetooth. [control panel- device and printer, and  Fn key(marked in blue on your key pad) combination for Bluetooth enable/disable]

                Then I have opened Device Manager.

 To open Device Manager-

   
              1.            Right Click MY COMPUTER icon on desktop.
              2.            Left click the PROPERTIES in pop up window.
              3.            It will open PROPERTIES window. In Properties Window look for Device Manager .

              4.            Once you able to find it, Left click to open--- Device Manager.

              5.            Now we can see the following window.

 

               

Step 2-                 Just follow the cursor marking                   the following illustration and solve.

                      

 Under Bluetooth Radios

                1.            Generic Bluetooth Adapter

               

                2.            Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator

Step 3-     Double click the Generic Bluetooth Adapter or do as shown below.

 

Step 4-   This will open properties dialog box. Click Power Management tab

Now Uncheck the box

 "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

                                &

                        " Allow this device to wake the computer"




 

Step 5-                  Click OK! Then Check the laptops power option set to power saver mode or not.

Step 6-                  Then I tried to connect with Nokia PC suit- WOW!!!! its works.

Step 7-                  I tried to connect the internet with one touch in Nokia PC Suit but  error message

appear-

 “modem is not installed"

Step 8-                       To fix it I did  open Phone and Modem window.

                                      To open  Right  click  the  Bluetooth  icon from task bar.

                 thanks to Er. Ashim Boro(Dubai), Er. kankan Bhattecharjee(USA), NVS Shillong and N. Sanjit kr. Nongmaithem.

                                Task Bar is just lower part of your desk top screen:

                               Right Click Bluetooth icon then click Show blue tooth device

On opening the device- right click the phone icon- then left click  modem settings- this will open phone and modem

                (However you can open this from control panel or search option)

Step 9-                  It has three tabs like, /Dialing Rules/    /Modems/    /Advance/

Step 10-               click Modem tab and see for your phone modem. if it is there select it then click the Remove button to Remove it.

If not then follow next step.

Step 11-               Click Add button and allow the window to detect your modem automatically.

Step 12-               Click Next button this will open a pop up window- "select Bluetooth device”

Step 13-               see your phone name generally the default name depends on the company model name.

(in my case it is Nokia 2600c-2 but you check under phone[handset] Bluetooth settings what name already assigned to your phone)

Step 15-               This will install the required drivers.

(if not installing then insert the diskette supplied  with Nokia PC suit/ Phone. To do this click

  Have Disk)

Step 16-               Now you will see your modem in the Phone and modem window attached to COM14 or

                                COM9 or  COM12 etc any Number.

Step 17-               click ok to close the window.

Step 18-               click one touchin Nokia Pc suit- and have a happy internet browsing.

Step 19-               wo wo wo!!! Still having problem in browsing.  Don’t get upset it may be some GPRS settings problem. Please follow cursor mark    in the following illustrations this

                                may solve.

Step 20-
