What happens when you try? I have a dell laptop, and in order to get my axim to sync with it, i had to "turn on" the laptop's IR port. Apparently i had to go into the bios to turn it on because it was turned off by default. I wonder if the IBM laptop is the same, where you have to turn on the IR port so that it can be used.

The IBM Thinkpad has windows 2000 pro. I have been using IR to sync my Palm for a long time. It works everytime. I have installed activsync on the IBM and I turn off the Palm sync manager. I have synced the Axim and the IBM with the usb cable so a partnership is established. But when I try to sync with ir it never finds a connection. Neither from the IBM or from the Axim. The same thing happens when I try to beam notes or anything between them.
This is just a part of the problem. I also would like to be able to beam data to my co-workers palm OS devices. This does not work either. The only thing I have had any luck with is a compaq laptop.
A few minutes ago I downloaded the Dell driver update for the IR port but I cannot see any improvement at all.
