Need Bluetooth 2.1 adapter to pair Logitech Boombox with Dell XPS M1210
I am trying to connect a Logitech Boombox to a Dell XPS M1210 running WinXP SP3 but discovered that the Dell Wireless 355 adapter is Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR. Has anyone had success pairing the Logitech Boombox device to their XPS M1210 and, if so, what steps did you take?
Alternatively, does anyone know if there is another Bluetooth adapter that I can install internally in the M1210 that supports Bluetooth 2.1 or which is known to work with the Logitech Boombox?
The 355 adapter's software successfully finds the boombox but cannot connect. And if I try to pair the device, the 355 software insists on a security key, but I don't think the Logitech Boombox requires or has one. I have tried obvious candidates like "0000", "000", "00", "0" and "0001", etc., but I suspect that this is a dead-end path.
I installed the following software patches for the 355 adapter per the Dell drivers and downloads website: Dell_Wireless-355-Bluetooth-_A01_R127314.exe and R159805.EXE.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

PatFinegan,
On my Dell XPS L501x, if I go to Bluetooth, then add device, it will find my cell hpone. It then gives me a pairing number on the laptop, then needs put in the cell phone to pair. Once it's in, then I don't have top do that anymore.
Some headphones for cell phones use a 4 digit number. Some can be 0000 I have already used 1234 Your Booombox should have a pairing code in the manual.
