Bluetooth sockets not working

[spacewarp]

Hello,
I'm trying to create a simple client/server app using bluetooth. I've had no problem with the server app running on my laptop but I'm having major issues with the client that's supposed to run on my Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 6 Classic). For some reason the call to

socket (AF_BTH, SOCK_STREAM, BTHPROTO_RFCOMM)

always results in a 10047 error == not supported even though the built in bluetooth apps work just fine.

Does anyone know how to solve this or know of some other practical way to communicate over bluetooth in C++?

I have no experience with bluetooth programming, so my advice is as following:
Obviously you're doing something different than the built in bluetooth app or other apps that works.
Try monitoring a bluetooth app that works, see what api functions it calls what parameters etc...
And then see what you are doing different, and when it will take you.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Any tips?

Solved
I figured out how to use the virtual COM ports which work perfectly. I still think the pocket pc is a bit weird because according to some tests I ran there isn't even a bluetooth stack so I'm not sure how the bluetooth actually works on it... But it works now anyway.
