Cause/Remedy
c If an older version of the BlueSpace software is being used
problems with the file transfer service may occur. Make
sure that the BlueSpace software and the Bluetooth device
driver on the target are the latest versions. For information
on upgrading software refer to the VAIO-Link website.
c Switching to standby mode automatically is not possible if
the computer is communicating with other Bluetooth
devices. To enter standby mode, terminate all Bluetooth
communications.
c Remove Bluetooth USB adapter from the USB connector,
then plug it back into the connector and try Bluetooth
communication again.
Other devices located in the vicinity of Wireless LAN
communication can cause Bluetooth communication to fail
midway.
c The target Bluetooth enabled device is requesting
connection authentication. Mutual authentication is
required to enable Bluetooth communications with this
device. Refer to "Communicating using Windows XP
functions" (page 19) for details.
c Authentication may not have been performed during
previous Service Discovery. Right-click on the device
connected via BlueSpace NE, and click "Authentication".
