I'm trying to connect a Lego Mindstorms NXT brick to my computer with Bluetooth. Windows computers I've tested can see and connect to the brick just fine, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the brick or the Bluetooth transmitter.

When I plug the transmitter in, a setup icon with the Bluetooth logo appears on the panel. If I click it, there is an option to set up a new device. And the computer can see the brickā€”it shows up in the list of devices. But when I try to establish a connection (even with the PIN set to the correct 1234), I am asked to enter a PIN on the brick. This is impossible; the brick has no input methods for entering a PIN.

So, how can I get this thing to work with free software?
