I have the Ifrared in W98 working properly on each Lib if that's MSIR20. >"providing application support on COMx"? In System Information > Components > Ports ... Infrared is listed both as a Serial COM and a Printer LPT port. It doesn't indicate COMx or LPTx. The only other reference I've seen to IR in the systems settings is the serial IR protocal in the Network settings. >What I mean is, there is infrared hardware in the Libretto. 50 series it is >usually on COM2 set in BIOS... Yes... that's how it's set in my Libs' BIOS. >1x0 series it is set by the driver, mine is on COM3.< Haven't found that setting yet. >IGNORE THAT! > >Let the machine have the infrared stuff where it is.

Wonder where you find that setting though. >It supplies, roughly, carrier detect... when the infrareds are connected >there is a sound, and you are "plugged in" Yes... I get that little chirp when the 2 Libs connect via IR. >So, the DCC software only is concerned with the "application support" port >COM4... I have only had DCC and printing success on COM4, not LPT3 I'll check again, but I'm pretty sure I tested connecting both Libs via DCC on COM4. For me, DCC lists LPT1, LPT3, COM1 and COM4 as available ports. >I would go back to a serial CABLE, get DCC working, THEN swing to Infrared. Well... I tested DCC on each Lib with the desktop today, and it all worked fine. I have a parallel null modem cable set up on LPT1. I only have one port replicator with me, so I can't test the connection between the two via a cable. I'll go test IR via DCC on COM4 again. Let me know if you have any ideas what may be going on here. Thanks!
