Guest George Valkov Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I moved my home PC to a new case that has an Infra Red port. I connected it to the mainboard and set the BIOS to use IrDA mode instead of COM2. Then I made a temporary Windows XP installation, and from the Network Connections folder, Add new connection I enabled "Incoming connections" over IrDA. When a mobile phone with enabled Infra Red port gets in range, it is automatically detected by the computer and I can transfer files in both directions. So far so good, but my home PC has Windows 2003 server. I copied and installed the drivers from XP to the 2003 server: [built-in Infrared Device] netirsir.inf irclass.dll irmon.dll irprops.cpl irftp.exe irda.sys irenum.sys irsir.sys serial.sys Device manager says "This device is working properly.". There are two problems: 1. In network Connections, New Connection Wizard", there is no option called "Setup Incoming connections". Do I need to enable some service and which? 2. If I say "Setup advanced connections", "Accept incoming connections" or "Connect directly to another computer", I see COM1 and LPT1, but the Infra Red device is not listed like in XP. How do I activate this functions under Windows Server? Thanks for any help and web-links! George Valkov
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Re: Enable Incoming connections over IrDA. Hello George, You have to find the correct driver for 2003. But i am not sure if a SERVER operating system will work with IR.

Even you have "Wireless Link" on control panel, when you double-click on it nothing happens, no dialog boxes or error messages, eventhough you have necessary irftp.exe and irmon.dll kinda.

I actually used Windows XP service pack 3 RC and it worked fine there. Then I copied the drivers from it to the Windows 2003 server. The driver is installed and working properly. In Network Connections: 2. If I say "Setup advanced connections", "Accept incoming connections" or "Connect directly to another computer", I see COM1 and LPT1, but the Infra Red device is not listed.
