[Michael]

hi guys can anyone please help me

I am running a copy of xp pro 2002 sp1 operating system
but there is no infrared activity atall, infact there is
no WIRELESS LINK icon in the control panel.
I have no connection between my mobile phone (Nokia 6610
to infrared MA620 adaptor)and my pc even though
everything is installed correctly.

please can anyone shine a light on this for me
as I haven't got a clue what to do.

regards Michael

Do you have infrared hardware on the pc? Specs, please.

Though I have not used th IR port on my Dell Inspiron 8000,
I have seen settings in the BIOS for it that are disabled
by default. To enter your BIOS, there is usually a promt
for what key(s) to hit to enter SETUP. It's usually either
F2 or ESC, or DELETE. If it has no prompt, than at the
logo screen, try CTRL + SHIFT + ESC. When in the BIOS
settings, look around in the various menus until you find
Infrared Data Port. Upon bootup, you will see it in the
Windows Device Manager.
