Nokia to Laptop via Infrared connectivity problems
Posted in computing..but got no response as of yet
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=353105
Help!
Thought I'd try out this nokia suite and installed the latest version on my laptop (Dell Latitude Cpx) with Win2000 Pro
But I can't get it to communicate with my phone (6100) I've tried other IR nokias with no success (7210) either. Ran all the win2000 updates. No luck
The IR port is activated in the bios, I've tried slow mode and fast mode, various forced com ports. I've reduced the communication speed as suggested in the help.
And it STILL doesn't work
All I can get is it to show a active connection when I send a business card (which doesn't recieve). Otherwise nothing else works.
Anyone got any suggestions?

My father has IR on his Nokia. He activates it the phone before trying to connect.
Sorry I cant be more help but we've never had a problem (Had it working on all three dell laptops).

IIRC IR is quite troublesome on W2k. There is some german software out there which I used to use - it maps a com port to the infrared port - so you could try and track that down. The other option is to buy a bluetooth dongle - cheap these days.

I have a dell latitude D400 and i cant get the IR to connect to any mobile, even though it says it is working.
I bought a USB IR gismo, installed it and it now works!! £9.00 on e-bay...!
