I was thrilled to find how easy it was to sync my laptop and x50v via IR ... then I upgraded to ActiveSync 3.8, and I can't connect via IR anymore ... I am refusing to believe it is 3.8 - it must me something I am forgetting ...
The IR link is established ... I touch tools>connect via IR, and it does NOT connect (it used to).

Did you enable it in Activesync on the PC? By default it will try the COM ports.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

   

I thought I tried everything ... but I must not have (unless it is a sequence thing) ... anyway ... at 1am this morning, 3.8 was working fine. It is possible that I did not config the pc to look at IR instead of COM. But OBVIOUSLY, it is not 3.8 Sorry. My bad (one of many).
