Check out this website..
You can use Direct Cable Connection in Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP.
For more infohttp://kb.iu.edu/data/ahcj.html
Here is what you will need to use Direct Cable Connection to connect two computers:
* Windows must be installed on each computer. However, you are not restricted to using the same version of Windows on both computers. (For example, you could connect a Windows 95 computer to a Windows 2000 computer, or a Windows XP computer to a Windows 98 computer.)
* Direct Cable Connection must be installed on both computers.
* You must have a bi-directional serial or parallel port cable, or a null modem cable. -
actually i'm trying to set up a bluetooth serial connection between my handphone and PC... but that option doesn't seem to be available...
was thinking whether I disabled any services before or did not install any windows components or something... -
Does your PC support bluetooth? If yes, it shouldn't be greyed out.Originally posted by 2Bears:actually i'm trying to set up a bluetooth serial connection between my handphone and PC... but that option doesn't seem to be available...

If your PC doesn't support bluetooth, you have to get an external device that supports it to use. -
yes.. i'm able to use bluetooth on my pc and connect to my handphone...
dunno why that option is greyed ... sigh...

I think that's because a handphone isn't a computer. Try letting your handphone accept the connections instead, if the second option isn't available.
