Lenovo T61 / Vista / blackberry used as bluetooth modem

Hi there everyone,

I have found overs differents forums that I am not the only one that have problem using my blackberry as a bluetooth modem with my lenovo T61 with Vista.

Here is somes details of my setup

Lenovo T61 with integrated bluetooth runing Vista Buisness with all latest windows update
all latest drivers from Lenovo
Blackberry 8830 from Bell mobility with adequate IT policy that should me let use the blackberry as a bluetooth modem.
I got numbers of laptop with same model, and I got several blackberrys to try stuff... I'm also admin on a BES.

Before writting this thread, a couple of support ticket have been open with RIM and Lenovo all without success. In somes case, RIM refered to Lenovo, and of course, Lenovo refered to RIM, none of them wanted to speak to each other. One funny thing, my RIM rep's told me they all have T61 as regular laptop.

I've already offered RIM to have my laptop ship to their support, and they don't want to... they finaly refered me to Microsoft (Duh)

Here is my bluetooth services listed on my 8830:
Headset
Handsfree
Desktop Connectivity
Wireless Bypass
Dial-up Networking
Audio Source
A/V Remote Control Target


Here is my bluetooth services listed on my 8830 for the pairing with the computer: (somes in french , but useless to our problem sorry)
Audio gateway
Casque
Audio Gateway
Transfer d'éléments du gestionnaire d'informations personnelles
A/V Remote Control Target
Audio Sink


I am able to sync my laptop with my 8830 over bluetooth, it works

I am able to use my blackberry as a modem to go on the internet with a USB cable

the thing that don't work, and in fact that don't appear anywhere is the modem "modem over bluetooth"

I got 2 devices in my Device Manager that are classified

what I want is to use the 8830 as a bluetooth modem with my Lenovo T61 with VISTA

one very interesting page is this one :
Uncrippling Bluetooth in Vista RTM | Dev-Toast

they ask for Device ID that should look like this:
USB\VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX

and my result of devices ID are :
BTHENUM\{426c6163-6b-42-6572-7279-427970617373}_LOCALMFG&000f
BTHENUM\{426c6163-6b-42-6572-7279-44736b746f70}_LOCALMFG&000f


to solve my problem, I *think* (RIM think that also) I need the driver call Modem over bluetooth or something like that.

anyone can help?

bump, same problem still no answers.

 

RIM support team was supposed to solve that for me at 4 times...

this case has been refered to high placed manager few times without success

I havn't renew my T-support for rim as long as this case isn't solve.

they have closed the case one more time...
