Did you try looking through the Windows "properties" for some

Did you try initiating pairing from the Newton? Also, I had a
somewhat similar issue in pairing with my t610, and I used the same
pairing key which worked. ie use 1234 as your pairing key when
originally pairing, then when the computer (the newton in my case the
windows in yours) asks again try giving it that same 1234? I guess
this might not work if windows is going to attempt to pair...

I don' think so... did you try using the above approach and selecting
"accept" before connecting to windows?

Sorry to not be too much help with this, but I have been living in the
OSX world.
I use Mail V on the Newt and IMAP mail on the Mac and PC, this allows
Outlook or any other IMAP capable mail client to access the same data
as the Newton. This also encourages me to key my inbox tidy.
