heya, i don't think i have a problem with the reading the name from the
discovery list, 'cause a sample code sends out the right name. but in my
code i can't seem to get it to display.
i declare it as
char test[]={IR_HINT_PDA, 0, 't', 'e', 's', 't'};
set it as
IrSetDeviceInfo(refnum, test, 6); //(aswell as 4)
but i can't see the name in discovery. what else may i be doing?
tia
