From: Gary Cuevas on 27 Jul 2010 02:08 Hi Peter, I don't find an option to create an inbound COM port in my Bluetooth Settings page, only an outgoing port. It seems I heard about a registry entry that allows this page to let the user create an inbound port. But I've searched all over the web today to find it. I've been unable to track it down, though. Did I just imagine it, or does it really exist? Thanks.

It supports SPP among other profiles. For instance, I can set an outbound port to a remote device and send data through it (via the proper COM port in my C++ app). However, when discovering the sevices on this PPC, SPP is not reported. That means that a remote application trying to connect via SPP by first determining whether SPP is supported will not work. And that's the problem, because the Pocket PC does support SPP. It only doesn't let others know about it. Does anyone know of some setting (registry flag, API) that would force the MS BT stack to advertise SPP along the other profile it supports?
