Thread: D-Link DBT120 ver. B4 problems?

Hey

This FAQ only applies to DBT-120 revision B4 units with a MAC Address that starts with 0011.


I just wanted to share this with everyone incase you had the same problem I did.

I bought this BT device retail, forgot my cd and kept getting some stupid licensing pop-up error every 1 minute.

It took me 2 hours to find the solution on D-Links website. I asked that they move this link to the DBT-120 support site, but that might make too much sence.

Anyway, If you are running XP/home/pro with SP1 and are having problems connecting your DBT-120 ver B4 bluetooth usb device, check this out!!
