Great info.. No other places on the web had the info from line 2.1. It was making me crazy. That one little setting was stopping the entire show.. Thanks for the help..

PerryBC: Which problem are you having? Since you’re not running on a Windows mobile phone, things are going to be somewhat different - I don’t know much about Symbian except that a lot of people really like it.

I can say that if you’re getting an error on your Widcom stack on your Windows XP PC, you’re probably running into a similar problem which is that the PC has configured as a host for internet sharing as well as a client.

You probably want the PC to be a client only, so you have to figure out how to turn off Internet Sharing/Hosting on the PC. I describe in the original post how to do that - and I think I’m also using the Widcom stack so the UI should be similar or the same for you. Does this help?

Thanks for your response. However, do you know how to resolve this same problem with a Sony Ericsson P1i which is running in Symbian UIQ OS? I’m really getting frustrated, even considering replacing the phone.

PerryBc: IntShrUI is located on the Windows mobile device, at least if you’re lucky (some phone companies have stripped out completely) But you can probably find someone running the same version of Windows Mobile as you and get a copy from them.

Of particular note is http://www.xda-developers.com - the people who hang out there are pretty great.

You can also re-flash your device with a wholly new operating system - I did that recently and it worked fine, but if you’re not careful it’s possible to “brick” (aka ruin) the phone.

Have fun!

You are right! You are the only one I have seen to post information like this (so far), and for that I congratulate you. However, I can’t seem to find “IntShrUI” in /Windows folder in my computer. I am using Widcom Bluetooth Dongle. Do you have any idea how I can resolve the same problem with this software? Your reply will be mostly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
