I`m connected to net with the Ir Port for my T610 for the Last 1`n`half month, i never had any problem !! As far as I think it`s hardware Prob.!!

myself is connected tooo ...not having any problem i think u uninstall the software and then reinstall it and if still problem persist then do check ur port cable or a change is invitable

hi dude, ur IR dongle is of low quality i suppose..

 

[xenkatesh]

Might be It is safe to check ur port cable dude!

hey pal...

thanx for answering...

but i m using the dongle for the past 7 months and this problem has never come up...till now...if i format the windows..then the port starts working again.
and for the drivers part...

i dont use 1...cause windows automatically detects it so i never install any.....

To Tell ya frankly mate....Ir Dongle Totally Sucks.....it works for sometime and then some or the other problem erupts out...my Usb Y-610 Irda had the same problem first it properly used to dectect and work.....until (yea there's always until...) the problem started it dosent detect my phone or for that matter any other phone....tried everything from checking the USB port to loading the drivers properly....formatting to checking my phone's software....but all in vain dude...forget it anyways if ya have a bluetooth connectivity then go get a bluetooth dongle.....

 

[angel]

ya pal...same prob here 2...

windows detects the irda successfully... and says that the devise is working properly. but the port doesnt detect any mobile around. i downloaded the latest softs also 2day but still i cant make it run...

i m using a T610 set. yes it has bluetooth connectivity. but i dont want 2 spend on it now.

so is there any way 2 solve this prob... *smilies.sofrayt.com/sae/knockout.gif
