Hi, I am trying to connect my new(ish) Samsung Go (N310) Netbook to a wiimote. The netbook is running windows xp home, sp3. When I try to connect to the wiimote in the bluetooth utility that comes preinstalled (it has built in bluetooth, recognized as Broadcom 2046 Bluetooth 2.1 USB dongle). Even though it recognizes the device as a keyboard/mouse/gamepad, it still asks for a passkey, Even though it is set to not require a passkey for HIDs (human interface devices). It is not a problem with the hardware, because I can connect my Lego Mindstorms NXT to it without a problem, however that has a passkey.

Info: Firmware version for the broadcom bluetooth adapter is Version 2.2.117.847

Software says its WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software 5.5.0.7000


Thank you in advance for any help you might have.

I haven't tried connecting a Wii remote to a computer, but the following website has the steps on how to do it.

I noticed that the link on step one for downloading the driver didn't work. Here's a working link.
