Bluetooth connection PC to Cellphone - can pair ok but cannot connect

I have an SMC dongle and a Nokia 6255 phone. The BlueSoleil software allows pairing to the phone, but connection attempts to the Bluetooth serial port service does not work.

When connection is invoked from the PC the phone attempts to connect but times out.

Connection option is not available on the phone.

Perhaps there is something wrong with the pairing, or is there an incompatibility between phone and dongle?

I tried using the Nokia PC Suite, but it throws up an error message "Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available."

Yes I think you are onto it totally. I uninstalled the Bluesoleil software/drivers and then did a Windows Bluetooth new device installation and XP SP2 found all the drivers itself and it all worked. Thanks.
