Does either machine recognize the other in attached devices.
If you are file sharing you may need some 3rd party software, windows machines don't play well with pre OS X macs for file sharing. I have had great luck with pcmaclan, you can download and try the demo mode for "x" number of hours. I forget how much.
I don't know if PC's can even share over the Ir, never tried it.
Good luck

Hello all,
I've been trying to set up my new 2400c to connect via infrared to my Windows XP notebook, until I get my wireless card. Anyone have any luck doing this? I've found two primary methods:
1. You open up the terminal in Appleworks/Clarisworks and Hyperterminal in Windows, connect and setup a file transfer
2. You set up TCP/IP over IrDA on the Mac and PC, then connect and set up an FTP server to transfer files.
Neither of these seem to work for me. Also, the infrared connection is a bit spotty for me, it rarely seems to connect well, even within inches when I can tell the windows are perfectly lined up. I read something in teh archives about covering up half the window, but don't recall what that was about. Like I said, does anyone have any success stories or tips for doing this?
