What connection was sucessfull?

The phone connects to the computer using a COM port (which is how it communicates with the phone) and a Bluetooth audio gateway (for the sound to go through computer speakers) probably the Audio gateway is connected but freephone is not connecting to the COM port to complete the connection.

Check your COM port settings match up in windows & freephone and maybe the freedrive forums which has a seperate forum for FreePhone which may be more helpful.

First of all thanks for the reply.
In the taskbar there is the icon of my bluetooth device..When it connects with a cellphone it turns green and a bubble is coming up saying connection succesfull.This happens when i turn on freefone..but...the freefone program allways says trying to connect and i can't do anything with it...Thats my problem

I have put the correct com port in freefone ini (9 in my case)
Is there anything elser i should check?(i have panasonic phone with symbian software and my bluetooth is trust.)

It can also make a difference depending on what bluetooth dongle your using, because they use different stacks (eg microsoft, wildcom etc) I know with most phone programs the Belkin brand tends to be more compatible i would check out www.freedrive.co.uk and look on CD/Rs forums, they will have a solution as they made the software, I havent really used freephone as im still using phoco.
