I have the MS bluetooth keyboard/mouse hooked up to my PC. Can I get either ther PC or the 17" PBook to recognize the other?

I think you will need the 10.2.5 update.

Even then you may need to 'un-pair' the keyboard and/or mouse in order to discover them with your PowerBook.

This is a guess. I have never actually used any BT devices, but from what I've been reading, devices can only belong to one pairing at a time.

I may be wrong...

I must not have been clear enough. I want to connect both computers via the bluetooth adapter from the MS keyboard set. I don't want to connect the keyboard/mouse to the PB. Just the PC to the PB.

This is completely hearsay, but I have heard that the adapter that comes with the MS bluetooth desktop stuff doesn't support all the various bluetooth profiles, only HID for a mouse and keyboard. At the very least, I doubt it comes with driver support to do what you are asking. After you install it, do you get a "Bluetooth Neighborhood" icon on your PC laptop?

I have successfully paired a PC and Powerbook using a 3rd party bluetooth adapter that I bought at CompUSA for about $40 for the PC. I'm sure that would still work with your mouse and keyboard too. You might have to go that route.

You might try to find a more PC savvy forum to find out more info about the bluetooth desktop though, since I doubt many people here are using it as MS intended..
