What network services are supported by my Bluetooth device?

If you want to find out what network services are supported by your Bluetooth device on your Windows XP system, you can use the "Local Services" tab on the "Bluetooth Configuration" tool:

1. Turn on the Bluetooth radio as shown in the previous tutorial.

2. Click "Start" > "Control Panel".

3. Double click "Bluetooth Configuration".

4. Click the "Local Services" tab, you will see a list network services supported by the Bluetooth device:

Service Name          Startup     Secure Connection
Printer               Automatic   Required
