Bluetooth?

I'm trying to get my laptop to trust my Palm 700p and vice versa via
bluetooth.

I've read:
http://www.penguintutor.com/tutorials/viewdoc.php?doc=linux-bluetooth-network

and followed the directions therein. Neither from the Treo 700p, nor
from the Ubuntu laptop in question, can I create the trusted
relationship between the two devices. Anyone else run into this? The
laptop is a Dell 640m Inspiron.

Here's what the box shows:

installed packages with the word 'blue' in them: (dpkg --get-selections
| grep -v deinstall | grep blue | cut -f1)

bluefish
bluetooth
bluez-utils
gnome-bluetooth
kdebluetooth
kdebluetooth-irmcsync
libbluetooth2
libbluetooth2-dev
libmultisync-plugin-irmc-bluetooth
python-bluez


# lsmod | grep blue
bluetooth              55908  6 bnep,rfcomm,hidp,l2cap

# hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:16:CF:FD:5E:03 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:8

# hcitool scan 
Scanning ...
        00:07:E0:C0:0B:36       scott

At this point, from the palm, I attempt to set the laptop as a trusted
device. The palm tells me that it is unable to connect to scott-640m-0.

Anyone run into this before?
