Anyone have any recommendations on brand or site to purchase from? I purchased one from eBay and cannot get it to work.

I bought a cheap 20 dollar no namer a few years ago for my nokia 6620.. it lasted about 3-4 years..

so i might go for something a little bit better .. maybe a belkin, or d-link

What about it isn't working?

I got a super cheap no-name $5 eBay special and it works fine.

The Zoom dongle sells for about $20.00. It has its own drivers or will work with the Windows XP stack. Many other dongles use the Toshiba Bluetooth stack found in the Zoom device. The Blue Soleil-based dongle might be cheaper but it loads proprietary drivers. If you get the update, it only allows you to transfer about one megabyte of data. They want you to buy a new dongle with the newer drivers.

Yea it is Blue Soleil based. I have contact support today, but I thought I would ask and see what everyone was using.
It shows up on device manager with the yellow exclamation mark beside it and gives a code 43.

I have looked around a little on the internet and some ppl say it has something to do with SP2. I have a server running 2003 server and another computer running ME, I think I will try it on the ME machine.
