what kind of infrared device are you using? USB? Serial? integrated on a laptop? a dongle? manufacturers name etc?

MAN! Why isnt everything nice and clear?
Theres always been compliants about infra red and the PC suit, and i have some q's too!!!

I'm a man of few words, so: Any thing i need to know ? (i got an integrated laptop infra red thing)

And it would be nice if someone would start with the basics 😊 i dont really read instruction manuals 😃 (they're always too long or too short!)

Thanx!!! 😃

IF had the infrared transceiver connected via cerial or usb or to pc you would just install the setup cd that comes with the device (external) i did that and after the infrared was recognised as a device by the computer then the pc suite works fine.

Now for the laptop you will probably have to let the computer know there is an infra red port available - goto control panel -system - device manager and for example on my computer i have "infrared devices: ir520s infrared serial device" on you computer you should have something equivalent.

There are two ways to use the infra red port either use a specific program like nokias pc suite to make use of the port or windows xp "wireless link" which you can install in network devices. 😮

either way as soon as you bring an irda capable device near to the computers infra red port just try from the mobile to send via infrared a message or something and immediatelly the computer should respond to the request. :-?

i have windows xp , external cerial infra red port and with 7650 works just fine. 😉

hope i helped! 😃

I have just sussed this, you have to disable any software you have which acts as a fire wall, then works fine.
