Now when I try to install on Win2k (proffessional) it looks for drivres, but can't find them. Where can I locate a driver for the Mini IRda USB Adapter ???? Thanks, rsnzwg Hi,

The funny thing was that as soon as I put my Pocket PC close to the IR dongle, it would sense it and pop open a file transfer window on my PC. I could easily move files to the PPC. But, ActiveSync would not work until I made the special network connection... I didn’t install a driver either.

I don't use this particular IrDA dongle, but I do have another brand, the guts of which I'm sure are quite similar to the one you reviewed. (The one I use is the model that Outpost.com recently had for free after rebate.) I should also note that I'm running WinXP as that may make a difference. I ignored the CD that came with the dongle and just plugged it into the PC. WinXP loaded its default drivers for an "IrDA bridge device" and that was it. I enabled "Serial or Ir" connections in ActiveSync on the PC then in ActiveSync on the <em>Pocket PC</em> I selected the "Connect via IR..." option on the Tools menu. No funky network connections to setup or anything. I just pointed my iPAQ in the general direction of the Ir dongle, tapped Connect via IR... and successfully completed an ActiveSyne on the first try. I wanted to let you know that it <em>may</em> not have required quite as much work as you put into it! :) --<em>Dave</em> (<em>Long</em> time reader, first time poster.)
