Enable Incoming connections over IrDA.

[Guest George Valkov]

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!

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.

XP SP2 has serious problem with IrDA which is common. 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.
