Bluetooth seems to be functioning selectively on my (and my friend's) laptop. It easily detects our phones, but refuses to detect the other laptop. I thought I am missing something in windows 7, so tried the same in Ubuntu 12.04 - same result here also.

Any suggestion?

Are your laptops visible??Set the visibility to on to pair laptops.

visibility is already on..Like I said, there is no problem in pairing with our mobile phones. Our laptops are easily detected by the phones and vice-versa.

yes buddy..no problem at all in that.

I should also mention that I have reinstalled the bluetooth drivers in both the laptops.
