Well, with all of the positive talk about PDAs (et. al.) I
decided to not be left behind and I bought a TRGPro
(Palm-alike). Very nice. But (and you knew this was
coming) I can't get the IR HotSync'ing to work (surprise
:-).

When I enable checking for a device every 3 seconds, and hit
the sync button on the TRGPro, the Win98 IR Monitor shows an
available device trying to connect using IrCOMM, but then
the connection goes down, then it comes back, then it goes
down -- several times until the TRGPro finally gives up. If
I don't tell the IR port to look for devices (like I think
it is supposed to be set to) then nothing happens. The IR
adapter is bound to the Fast IR Protocol in the Network
Neighborhood. Does it need to be the Slow IR Protocol? :-)

Syncing through the cradle works fine. I completely
uninstalled all of the IR stuff in the device manager and
reinstalled it all, but I still get this same thing.

I've got the Palm Desktop 3.0.3, with the HotSync Manager
3.0.4.

Thanks!

Bob
