I have been using my PowerBook with my V551 successfully for the last two weeks. I have been able to send and receive files with Bluetooth File Exchange and have also used BluePhone Elite to manage calls.

However, within the last day or so, my phone and my computer will not connect completely with Bluetooth File Exchange. They are correctly paired by way of the Setup Assistant. When I open Bluetooth in System Preferences and click on the Pairing, it will display a Connected: 'Yes' Status when I instruct the Bluetooth File Exchange to Browse. However, the File Exchange will only display a progress bar and then an error after a minute or two saying that the connection has timed out and wanting to know if I would reconnect.

The entire time, System Preferences shows the connection as still active. Additionally, BluePhone Elite can connect to the phone in the meantime or independently and show that it is on an AT&T network with a certain battery charge as well as accessing my phone book. So, what is the reason? I

ran an archive and install of OS X after reinstalling Bluetooth 1.5; both acts achieved no results. Any and all help would be appreciated.
