Any help would be...helpfull http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/wink.gif Do you have an IR receiver you can plug into an external modem or another PC? If so, I think the baud rate through that port is limited to 9600 but could be wrong. Those IR ports always give me trouble - stopped using them all together.. $ .02 ------------------ - Mouse not found - click to continue.. chode66 10-03-2000, 01:41 AM the port you want to use is not really made to shuffle that kind of data around, or at a high rate of speed. It is designed basically for printing and as such would have roughly the same through put as the LPT port. It is possible but I think you would be very dissapointed at the final result. zombor 10-03-2000, 09:08 AM well in the infrared control panel, it has a maximum transmision rate setting, which i have at 4Mbs. Are you saying that it cant go that fast? This is a brand new notbook. In my dialup properties in win2k(not sure about 98), it says i can establish a dialup connection thru my ir port. ------------------ Compaq Armada E500 650MHz PIII 128MB RAM 8MB ATI rage mobility 11GB hard drive/DVD who said you cant game on a notebook????

No kidding..4 Mbps? Hmm.. That's quite a bit faster than I had in my older P233 Dell notebook. http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ - Mouse not found - click to continue.. zombor 10-10-2000, 12:56 PM so whats the final verdict?
