 Windows XP Home Edition.
BTW functions the same way, regardless of the supported version of Windows on which it is running.
The services supported by BTW are:
 Bluetooth Serial Port—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between two
devices. The connection may be used by applications as though a physical serial
cable connected the devices.
 Dial-up Networking—allows a Bluetooth client to use a modem that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
 Fax—allows a Bluetooth client to wirelessly send a fax using a device that is
physically attached to the Bluetooth server.
 File Transfer—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection that allows your
computer to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth-enabled
device—browse, drag/drop, open, print, cut/copy, paste, delete, rename, etc.
 Information Exchange—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between
two devices so that they can exchange personal information manager data such as
business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes.
 Information Synchronization—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection
between two devices and uses the connection to synchronize Personal Information
Manager data between the two devices.
 Network Access—establishes a Bluetooth wireless connection between the client
and a server that is physically connected to the Local Area Network. If the client
has permission (user name and password for the LAN), the wireless connection
can be used as if the client were hardwired to the LAN.
All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services.
To determine the services provided by a Bluetooth device:
1. On the client, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere except on a
device name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.
3. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device and select Discover
Available Services from the pop-up menu to update the available services list. The
available services will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.
Icons Used for Bluetooth Devices and Services
Bluetooth icons provide at-a-glance feedback about a device or service's status by changing
color. (See Errata for Windows XP device icons)
Device icons are blue in color with yellow accents in their "normal" state and green with
yellow accents in their "connected" state. Devices that are paired with this computer display a
"check mark" in the upper-left portion of their icon.
