    Hi,

    I've got Sony Vaio VGN-FE41S series laptop (quite old,yes) which is still working and performing perfectly, but I got this problem. My wireless is synchronizing with bluetooth so then I can use wireless. What I would to know is can I disable bluetooth so It's not synchronizing with wireless anymore. Why I need this is because my bluetooth device is turning off/on sometimes and it causes problems with internet connection. Hope you will understand, sorry for my bad english.

    Thank you,

    Dagnis

    I am not sure what the exact problem is but I am sending the link to Sony Europe for your model. You may only need to make it not discover by right clicking on the bluetooth symbol and selecting configuration and then select accessibility tab and uncheck the let other bluetooth devises discover this computer. If this is not the problem you can turn it of by going into vaio control center and using the wifi switch for it in there. Or use page 86 of the manual for more detail by selecting documentation tab at the Euro web site.
