Failed to connect to SDP server on FF:FF:FF:00:00:00: No such file or directory

that failed also. For the application that i am writing, only my client will be connecting to my server so i do not need the services advertised to other clients. Since rfcomm transport protocol has 30 channels, can i have my server listening to more than one channel at a time (a channel for each service offered)  and then hardcode those channels in the client code so that my client can connect to the server based on the service it needs?

Thanks Binta

you have to use "sdptool browse local" for that.
