I can get Ranger to where it sees Iphone; then I get a message on the Ranger that says "Select services to use from this device" and there is a blank screen, like there are no services to choose. Anyone able to get past this point?

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't think the iPhone supports the "dial-up networking" feature needed to connect.

Even if the iPhone has tethering, Windows mobile doesn't see it as a usable device. I have had several customers attempt it and there has been a 0% success rate.

I checked with Firefox and IE. No links of any kind in the thread. Check your system for viruses/malware. Someone else reported similar behavior a couple of days ago.

Edit: Here's the thread [msg]154693[/msg]

Fixed IT! Text Enhance Cr*p

For Firefox users: Tools/Addons/Extensions.

Look for add ons that don't seem to be legimate and disable or remove.

I don't know where this one came from but I certainly didn't add it deliberately. SuperAntiSpyware and Norton Internet Security never caught it.

A lot of "freeware" these days is loaded with malware, even something like a PDF printer or image viewer/converter can come with Malware. I always read the reviews before I install anything, anymore.

Been there, done that. It won't work. Apple bluetooth isn't normal bluetooth.

You might try screach.com app on the iphone and then see
what devices it detects.
