Hi, I am attempting to get IrDA working on my new Sony z505js laptop. I have previously had a 505ts and I did have it working on it, but not such good luck with this new one. The modules load and everything appears to be find, but my Ericsson DI-27 is never recognized. When the phone is moved within range, the discovery file is unchanged and irdadump only shows the outgoing packets. But the phone works fine within Windows '98 and on my desktop with a JetEye. I am not sure where to go next with this. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks, Cameron B. Prince System Architect Akopia, Inc. http://www.Akopia.com "Freedom to mind your own business".
