Sending cell phone pictures to laptop

Working with a samsung A9 phone and a Dell X1. Configured it over a year ago and was able to transfer images from phone to a created folder. Attempted to send today and saw the following in the bluetooth application: Device Name: A9, Device Address: In Place, Device Class: Telephone Cellular Phone, Device Service: Service Class: Dial up Networking, Service Name: Dial up Networking, Port Name:COM40, Auto Connect: On, Connection Name: A9... The internet options panel also appears and I find that "never dial a connection" generates the bluetooth message: if never dial a connection is selection bluetooth will fail.. Guidance sought on the correct configuraton.
