3. go to settings->control panel->bluetooth and turn it on
(look for bt icon in statusbar)
4. turn on the keyboard (press pwr button, watch das blinken lights!)
5. acquire pairing digits after launching bt keyboard and hitting pair
6. type them on the keyboard, hit Enter
(IIRC, you'll then need to select generic 105-key PC, English)

- good luck! there's no reason this should not work?

I have tried this several times without success and so I did some digging. This is not an uncommon problem with bt keyboards and OS2008. There is a thread in the troubleshooting area specific to this problem with the Apple keyboard:

but it occurs with other bt keyboards and is a well cocumented problem:

I have not had a chance to try any of the proposed solutions documented in bugzilla - none of which seem to be a consistent solution.
