Help Trouble Setting up Bluetooth FoxFi

[NewArtDroid]

I've been having trouble setting up the FoxFi Bluetooth with my Lenovo T430 running Windows XP.

Some of you know I've been upset about FoxFi wireless not working with KitKat. Anyhows, I was able to install PDANet on my work computer, a Lenovo T430. While I often get error messages when it reboots, the USB mode works fine.

The next was Bluetooth. I couldn't tell if my computer had a Bluetooth, but I eventually found it did. But with Windows XP, I had to download some enhanced driver issued Feb 2014. With that installed, I started the Bluetooth application on my computer and paired it with my Droid Maxx. Successful. However, the manager on my computer still says the XT1080 Droid Maxx is disconnected.

I then opened the PDAnet application on my computer and chose Settings, Bluetooth Pairing. However, it does not see my phone. I looked on the web and saw something on the PDA website about setting up a dial up connection with the Bluetooth as a modem, however, that option did not appear for me. I'd appreciate any suggestions

No one one posted, so I wanted to give an update.

I got Bluetooth paired between my phone and my Thinkpad. On my phone, I had to make sure to click the button to connect to the computer. I was able to play music from my phone and it played through my computer's speakers.

However, I'm still not able to get FoxFo to work. i followed their instructions on their website and setup a dialup connection. However, it doesn't work. I also tried their Desktop app and chose Bluetooth, but it claims the computer doesn't have Bluetooth. However, it DOES have Bluetooth as I played music as I mentioned above. I E-mailed FoxFi when I wrote the above E-mail, but did not get any response.
