I have a problem concerning the built in IR modem of the T68i. Windows XP keeps reporting it "not funcitional", although the standard IR functions, such as file exchange between the desktop pc and the cell phone work properly via infrared. Whats more, both my Palm m505 and my iPAQ 3760 are able to use that same T68i as a modem through its infrared port (I`m able to succesfully connect to the GPRS network network with the PDA using the T68i as modem on IR). Installing the T68i as a cable modem with the DRS-10 cable also works flawlessly. Why can`t is use the IR modem with my desktop PC then?! I also tried it on an IBM Thinkpad laptop w/th Win XP, and it also reported the T68i IR modem Not Functional.
I also tried setting the IR port speed to 9600bps half duplex, but still "Not functional"
is it a bug of the R7A013 firmware or what?
Any ideas?
