Bluetooth and Outlook Express
 

When i connect to the internet with my bluetooth dongle through my phone, i
am unable to connect through outlook express. I can access the internet using
IE and download e-mail using Thunderbird. Is there any way to get express to
recognise the active connection which is the bluetooth connection?
Thanks

Look in Tools/Options/Connections on Outlook Express menu and make sure that
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express share identical setups. Then test if
your Bluetooth setup works. That of course assumes you understand how to
"pair" a Bluetooth connection and that your setup is correct for which you
would get better help in a networking newsgroup rather than one for Outlook
Express. Your question really relates to a problem with your networking
connection.

Hello Jim.
Thanks for your response. Just an update: On my home computer i have Outlook
express, IE 7 and PC Cillin (anti-virus), on my work computer i have Outlook
express, IE 7 and Norton. I can cnnect to the internet using IE 7 on both
machines. When i try to send/receive on my work computer - no problems. When
i try send/recieve on my home computer, it doesn't recognise any connection
other than a dial-up connectin irrespective of the settings in Outlook
express or IE 7. I think the difference is the anti-virus. I will contact
Trend and see if this makes sense to them.

When an anti-virus program scans e-mail it typically presents itself to
OE as the mail server, then the anti-virus talks to the real mail
server. So the anti-virus needs to be set to use any open Internet
connection and not be tied to using the dial-up

Thank you for your responses. Michael you were right. The only connection
currently allowed is the dial-up one. Thanks.
