IR link with a Pocket PC


Recommended Posts

Hi, I've just got myself a Dell Axim Pocket PC and would like to use the internet through my SPV. I've tried using the IR connection, the Dell detects the Smartphone (SPV) but cannot establish a connection, and the SPV just states that it's looking for devices but can't find any.

Is there a problem with the SPV's ability to connect using IR?

The Dell Axim will not talk to the SPV :o

There are a few Axim owners on the site (myself included) and it's a real pain in the .......

It appears to be a DELL problem which is a pain as I love the DELL :)

I resurrected an old post on this one last night over in the main forum. Here's the link.

Cheers guys, but I've got it working. All I had to do was go to Modem Link, activate the connection and leave it on screen, NOT click on 'Done', and I was ablee to use the SPV as a modem.

Connected to my office network, read emails and surfed the internet.

Cool!!!!

You running WM2003 on your Axim then? Are you using the SPV as a GPRS modem or dialing an ISP number? Just interested since mine takes quite a few attempts to get through on the GPRS connection. Maybe Dell have upgraded the IR port on the sly.
