I found it, I found it!!!
After 3 ghost images i found the anwser to this annoying stupid problem.
It all started when is used an XP image dated 3 months ago. when booting i ignored all the new found hardware and did not install any drivers for them.
After installing Bluetooth an Nokia software, i saw all Com ports!!
Then i re-imaged the whole thing again with a more recent ghost image of XP. NO new hardware found, and started to install bluetooth and Nokia Software, guess what. Only Infrared port. So what was different this time?
Two pieces of hardware were already installed, my analog modem (Ambient) and the Irda USB device.
I firstly disabled the IRda, reboot nothing (reinstalled IRda). Then disabled the modem, EUREKA all comports visible.
I enabled the modem again and rebooted, guess what only Infrared port.
Well you can guess what happened next. (repeated about 4 times, with exact the same results)
I think the M-router software can't list all comports if an Analog modem (dunno if this only accounts for Ambient CLM DATA FAX VOICE modem)is installed and occupies the COM3 port.
Also i'm using the latest Nokia PC suite, and I did not overwrite Any DLL-file in the Intuwave directory.
My advice, disable any Analog modem that is installed, and all comports should be visable!!
Tony, thx for your support and determination!!

Well done. Enjoy the PC suite. The only problem we will have to go through all again when we change phones!!

Fantastic work mate, you've just saved my 3650 from the bin! I'd been trying for a month! For anyone with mrouter com port problems, try the fix above, it worked for me when nothing else did.
Top work fella. 😃
Hi,
I've just got the phone and have been trying to connect & following the strand here. I've got precisely the same problem - PC Suite 1.2 comes up with only COM1, 2 & IR. Bluetooth is working because the phone asks if I want to connect, but then it all goes pearshaped. I've also tried everything suggested in this post. I'm on W2000 too.
If anybody finds a solution PLEEEEASE let me know. No BT defeats the point of having the phone in the first place.
AJ
Right. Sorry about the above post I've read all 93 entries now. I'm not techie enough to start messing about with mrouter stuff on my work computer.
Does anyone know where I can get my grubby mits on PC Suite v1.1 to download?
thanks,
AJ
AJ
Version 1.1 is the same as distributed with the original software disk that came with a boxed phone. I think unless you have that you will have difficulties. If you look back there is a post of mine with step by step instructions and the file to download. You need to be registered to download the file, its simple and free. I think we would run into copyright difficulties if we put up the whole original CD for download!
Tony
Thanks ever so much Tony. I've brought the CD into work with me (originally just downloaded it from nokia.com).
I'll give it a whirl today. fingers crossed!
AJ
Hi again,
I've followed the instructions word for word. Installed v1.1 (from original CD), copied Intuwave, uninnstalled, installed 1.2, copied back intuwave, reboot etc.
Now all the COM ports are coming up, as promised, COM 1-9. excellent.
Thing is, my USB things are COM 0. So I'm essentially back where I started. Anyone got any ideas? It's so tantalisingly close!!
Thanks again for all your help.
AJ
Hi
Go to you BT software and under the serial port config try to set the Host to Com3 and the client to Com4 select them in Mroter setup by clicking the Icon in the task tray and it should work, note it might compalin that COM3 is allocated to IR ignore the message and it should still work. It takes a moment or two to connect.
Tony
Tony& all contributors here you are an absolute star. thank you so so very much indeed.
it works!
AJ
I downloaded the latest PC Suite from Nokia web site. The mrouter has detected my phone, I can choose Infrared port connection, I can transfer files. BUT Nokia PC Suite would NOT start. :cry: Do you think v1.1 of mrouterserial.dll will help ?
I've registered for this forum, but cannot find the mrouterserial.dll file inthis thread. How can I find it?
Boon
The file you require is in my post dated 03 July. In an earlier post there are detailed instructions for the setup
Good Luck
Tony
Hi
Exactly same problem! This time WinXP, the v1.2.0 PC Suite from Nokia web site. I am able to use 3com software without any problem to move images (files, etc.) with its tools but PC Suite see only com1,2+IR.
3com install everything on com4, 5, 6, etc - ports that are not "visible" for Mrouter.
Do you have more ideas?
follow all the advice in this post - it's brilliant. I'm on Win2000, same problems, but it just miraculously worked eventually when I actually switched the computer off and turned it on overnight. brilliant.
I'm not the expert though.
Good luck!

Hi All
Only one file is needed from old PC-SDuite. That is mRouterseriell.dll.
Copy that file to new installation and PC-Suite 1.2.0 and all the com ports will be visible.
