Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 07:08:30 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Infra red for 2 Libs? Okay... IPX/SPX are installed on each Lib, and Dial-Up Adaptor on both already had bindings to IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, and TCP/IP. I still had no luck connecting with DCC trying most available ports. I noticed in the Network settings that both the 'Ifrared Adaptor' and 'Ifrared Protocol' were indentified as being 'serial'. I usually use 'Parallel cable on LPT1' for the cable I have. I think you want to avoid thinking about the infrared stuff in the networking area You DO have MSIR20 Infared Monitor working, right? I have the Ifrared in W98 working properly on each Lib if that's MSIR20. providing application support on COMx? In System Information Components Ports ... Infrared is listed both as a Serial COM and a Printer LPT port. It doesn't indicate COMx or LPTx. The only other reference I've seen to IR in the systems settings is the serial IR protocal in the Network settings. What I mean is, there is infrared hardware in the Libretto. 50 series it is usually on COM2 set in BIOS... Yes... that's how it's set in my Libs' BIOS. 1x0 series it is set by the driver, mine is on COM3. Haven't found that setting yet. IGNORE THAT! Let the machine have the infrared stuff where it is. Now, the infrared monitor, attaches to the infrared hardware and adds a virtual COMport. OK, on the 1x0 it is enable in frared communication ( to COM3 ) PROVIDING APPLICATION SUPPORT ON COM4 AND LPT3 Okay... Wonder where you find that setting though. It supplies, roughly, carrier detect... when the infrareds are connected there is a sound, and you are plugged in Yes... I get that little chirp when the 2 Libs connect via IR. So, the DCC software only is concerned with the application support port COM4... I have only had DCC and printing success on COM4, not LPT3 I'll check again, but I'm pretty sure I tested connecting both Libs via DCC on COM4. For me, DCC lists LPT1, LPT3, COM1 and COM4 as available ports. I would go back to a serial CABLE, get DCC working, THEN swing to Infrared. Well... I tested DCC on each Lib with the desktop today, and it all worked fine. I have a parallel null modem cable set up on LPT1. I only have one port replicator with me, so I can't test the connection between the two via a cable. I'll go test IR via DCC on COM4 again. Let me know if you have any ideas what may be going on here. Thanks!

So I switched settings for host and guest to 'Serial cable on COM1'. That failing, I tried to 'Serial cable on COM3'. Then I switched host and guest for each Lib for these ports. Still no luck. Just to review a list of things to check for DCC, I confirmed this old list of David's for getting DCC going: --- 1) make sure it's a Laplink/DCC compatible parallel port cable, not a standard printer cable! 2) make sure bi-directional/ecp/epp is selected in the bios. 3) make sure you've got IPX/SPX installed on both (known MS Windows bug that DCC won't always work on TCP/IP alone). 4) make sure both PCs have the same workgroup name, different PC names in Network control panel. 5) make sure you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed in the Network control panel and have Share Files selected. 6) make sure login to Microsoft networking is choosen, and that you do when staring both machines. 7) make sure drives to be shared are set in My Computer by right clicking drives, selecting 'share'and configuring settings. --- However I have had DCC working previously. Strange though that I found IPX/SPX missing today. I transferred some files with DCC just recently. I did notice in the Network settings that the Dial-Up Adaptor settings show a check box for binding it to 'Fast Infrared Protocol'. However try as I did to get that binding to stick, at each reboot it was unchecked again. I didn't have much more progress with other computer tweaks today either :-( Matt _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Re: [LIB] Infra red for 2 Libs?
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2002 06:06:27 + From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Infra red for 2 Libs? From: Pres Waterman [EMAIL PROTECTED] I guess I should ask more specifially, do you have an entry in your lists of ports in DCC that specifically istates that it is a virtual IR port? Or do you just have entries for things like, Parallel cable on LPT1, or Serial cable on COM2 without any reference to being a virtual IR port. Yup, that's the case. Just another COMport So you just have the standard port references in DCC like Parallel cable on LPT1 with no reference to it being a virtual IR port. And you say that you are able to connect one system to another via an IR connections using DCC between two systems, yes? If that's so... I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Well my L100 is running a stock full install of Win98 with Toshiba's FIR driver (in fact IIRC its the Win95 FIR driver on there) and the Infrared Recipient appeared on 'my computer'. The other laptop is running its factory install of WinME (its a Satellite 3001). - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

I use Windows' Direct Cable Connection on COMx where x is the virtual comport that MSIR creates. Okay... I found the IR icon in My Computer, and am able to transfer files between my Libs easily. It may be slow for large transfers as Raymond pointed out. But it's extremely convenient for transferring a few small files between notebooks. No need to have each Lib networked all the time with cables and PC cards, and certainly easier than plugging in those slow FDDs and fooling with FDs. Basically point and shoot! Nice. Not that I'm interested in doing it, but I wonder why a serial COM or parallel LPT port wasn't found in DCC when I had it search for new ports. Pres... you say you got an entry there that specified it as an IR port? I notice that in addition to adding the icon in My Computer, enabling IR also added a couple protocols in the networking settings. Funny I can't get it to appear in DCC. DCC might be a bit more convenient for more involved file transfers, as it works more like Windows Explorer.
