Bluetooth connectivity problems

[macx]

Recently acquired HP Compac nc8230,
XP Pro sp2
1g RAM

Bought a Dell Bluetooth keyboard new

Powered up and connected and worked fine for 3 days

Now won't connect
The Bluetooth wizard finds the device and the pin #,
but won't make a connection when I "enter", or when
I press the connect button

Tried 2 different sets batteries.

Did it crap out on me or??

Thanks!
