9210 IrDA connection with WIN2000

[Nokia_Archive]

Has anyone tried to IrDA connect 9210 PC Suite to IBM X21 Laptop w/ Ultraport IrDA?
I only have COM ports 1-3,5 available in my PC Suite Connection Properties but no IrDA available. Also have tried each of the displayed COM ports but none works.
How to fix this?

Hello!

I would say particularly for X21 ThinkPad, but having tried several solutions has come to a conclusion.

1. Only supplied irda driver seems to be working. (Under directory of PC Suite run file ModemSetup.exe).

2. PC Suite does not and will not show "IrDA" option in connection properties. Instead, after installing IrDA Virtual Port driver select appropriate com port it has created.

3. Free IrDA (IrCOMM2K) and commercial IrDA (Extensys) drivers does not work (for unknown to me reason).

Hope this helps.
