• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

alright, i tried this before, and i got some helpful information, i have a Hewlett Packard Omnibook6000 and i got a USB Blue tooth adapter for it the other day from radio shack for like 30 bucks, I've successfully gotten my desktop to see my cellphone and send some data to it, my Laptop is running the same OS Windows XP Professional, so I'm hopeful that it'll work the same way Via Blue tooth on the laptop, immediately it saw the P.A.M (Phone As Modem) capability's of the cellphone which is a Motorola V770 camera phone with Blue Tooth, has anybody had any success with such a setup on a laptop before? or am i just wasting my time?
 
Have you tried going over to the howardforums and asking for help ?
 
Tony, I'll second the recommendation regarding HowardForums, they really know their stuff over there.

I've used a similar setup with my Treo Smartphone and had satisfactory results, although I've found better performance using the USB cable. If your laptop recognizes the phone then it likely already has a driver that will work, although you might still have to deal with that later. I think you might also need the Motorola "Mobile Phone Tools" software in your case, but I'm not positive. There's likely a few others in here that have used that setup too.
 
the blue tooth adapter came with a CD with a bunch of tools on it O.O and your right the laptop did have drivers for the phone, it even told me the MAC address and the model and build date of the phone as well... ill give that other forum you told me about a try and see what they say, thanks guys
