missing IR device in make new DUN connection

[mikala]

Windows ME

Although I can succesfully make an infrared connection and
the infrared device is listed in system / infrared and
also in system / adaptors, when I try to make a new dial-
up connection, the infrared device is not listed in the
dropdown list of available devices. I can however see my
modem in the list.

I've tried removing the IR devices and re-loading but this
doesnt make the device list in new DUN connection.

I've also forced the control panel / network option to re-
build it's database by going in to it and clicking okay
and then re-booting.

How or what can I do to make the IR device (which is
working fine) list in the make new DUN connection drop
down liast of devices?

thanks

Why would IR appear under dialup?

You dont use it to dial anywhere.

Its infrared so, that means u have to
have something that uses IR in order to use
it. Otherwise, there's no point in having it.

What exactly did you think IR did?

It's not like a modem, where u can use
it to dial anywhere.
