[Bluez-users] Authentication problem

[Terry Mackintosh <terry@mackintoshweb.com>]

Hi

While I've read FAQs and HOWTOs on bluethooth until I'm about blue, the 
solution to my problem evades me.

What I have:
Old PII laptop running ROCK Linux, 2.4.24 kernel
Kensington USB bluetooth adapter.
Motorola V710 picture phone, new

What I want to do:
Get pictures off the phone and onto the laptop.

Progress so far:
The hardware all seems to be working.
The software mostly seems to be working.
The phone is seen from the laptop by the command line tools.

The problem:
Any attempt to make a connection with the phone results in the phone 
popping a dialog box that asks if it is OK to bond, followed by a 
request for a PIN.
No matter what PIN is given, it is always wrong. I have done "echo 1234 
 > /etc/bluetooth/pin" to no avail.
On the laptop side, the PIN aspect of the conversation is seen as an 
"Invalid exchange" when doing:

sdptool browse 00:15:A8:E4:F5:6B

When doing:
hcitool cc 00:15:A8:E4:F5:6B

it quits instantly complaining of a time out, but never waiting for any 
response from the phone.
The phone again pops a dialog asking "Bond with ...?", then a PIN 
prompt, but the PIN fails and hcitool timed out long ago anyway.

I looked at the log, it just confirmed the above in more detail.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
