It works with Win98 on my machine, using mE or NT or 2000 gives the same result by me as by you

WIN 2000 works fine for me, not always at the first try. It sometimes gives me an communication error, but if I try it immediately again, it works fine, both sending and receiving.

OK, I must say I resugnated from this problem..

I had Win98SE on my Toshiba Portege preinstalled and then I tried to change to ME or 2000 I got a lot of unpredictable errors and.. just returned to 98.

For 2000 there was a special utility somewhere on the web to enable IRDA, but you seem to have all.

Best luck-Hyvää jatkoa!

Are you trying to send them using only IR, or are you trying to send them using PC Suite?

Only using IR! PC Suite is installed and I use it sometimes as well. Another problem with sending via IR is that the file date on my 9210 is always 01.01.48, whereas PC Suite transfers the dates correctly.

I send all my files to or from Comm, but not with a standard utility of the operation system.

i just place comm close to IR port on my Portege and start IR. Then I'm able to open and browse all directories on the 9210 as well as on my laptop. I just drag'n'drop files from one window to another.

Sorry, I've never used Win XP and as well as IR printer. You may try to ask Microsoft guys about XP..
