hi,
thanx for the reply, i have tried every speed on my irda but still no luck sadly, im now wondering if there are any drivers for the t68i that i need to install as i never got the software disc when i bought it ?

i think my problem is that the catchevent application in the mobile phone moniter program always says that my phone is dissconnected i would apreciate any help given to me to get my phone to say its connected please please can somebody help me with this as i have been trying for ages now !

thank you stew pidass !

If you are able to, set the IR device to only communicate at half-duplex.
As was said above - reducing the speed to 9600baud also tends to fix a lot of problems.

hmm. I would say the same again - if you can, set the deive to half-duplex.
Also, have a look on devices the manufacturers website to see if there are any driver updates available.

Regards,

Phil.

BTW what brand is your IR device? A serial adapter? It seems some are more problematic than others. IR on older motherboards are also tricky.

USB IR adapters are most problem free, it seems

Stew,

Go see:

and

I was a tad shy of doing this, but flashing the mobo BIOS was a doddle, really. These links will tell you all you need to know!

Steven.
