I'm having trouble getting my Microsoft USB Bluetooth transceiver working in Windows 7. I can't get it to run in Bluetooth mode - it's instead running in wireless mode which means I can connect my current wireless/bluetooth keyboard (as a wireless device) but I can not connect my new bluetooth-only keyboard. It seems like there is no working Bluetooth stack or something - I don't see any Bluetooth options in the Control Panel or in the Device Manager. Does anybody have any tips? I'm running Windows 7 RC (build 7100) x64.

Thermopyle posted:If I recall Windows has never had a BT stack. You always have to install the drivers for your BT devices. Hmm.. my new keyboard is a Microsoft Mobile Keyboard 6000 and it didn't come with a CD. I tried installing the IntelliType Pro 7.0 software and it picks up my old keyboard properly. When I go to the Keyboard applet and click on the Wireless tab there is some Bluetooth stuff there with 2 buttons - "Connect" and "Advanced". If I click "Advanced" I can select to use either software Bluetooth mode or hardware Bluetooth mode; it always defaults to "software" and if I change it to "hardware" it loses connection to my old keyboard and I can't sync it. There's something going on where my transceiver doesn't seem to be able to run as a Bluetooth device and I can't figure out why.

I bought a new router and have decided to clean up my network stuff a bit. I setup the router to always assign my wired PC the same IP - 192.168.1.100 - but it looks like my PC used to connect to my old router on 192.168.1.107. Now it's always connecting to my new router on 192.168.1.107. When I do "ipconfig /all" on the command line it says "IPv4 Address .... 192.168.1.107(Preferred)". Is there a way to reset the preferred IP so my computer will start taking the .100 IP from the router? I'm running Win7 x64 Ultimate.

Swilo posted:What's your router's DHCP range? You shouldn't be trying to force IPs from within that, most start at 50 or 100 and run at least 50 above. The router is setup to give out .100 to .108. I ended up just leaving my computer at .107 and modifying my port forwarding on the router to send stuff to .107. Funny thing, I just reinstalled Win7 tonight on my new SSD and the first thing I did was check my IP... 192.168.1.107. I dunno what it is but my computer likes that one
