[RESOLVED] CELL PHONE IR PORT DRIVER NEEDED

[timspiteri]

I am trying to find a driver for my phone to connect to my ISP it searches for a STYLE MOBILE phone driver but cannot find it.

If someone could steer me inthe right direction it would be much appreciated

FYI: Some of the phones that appear to have an IR port on them, actually don't have any IR hardware in them. I know that is the case with most phones sold in Canada. However, the phones sold in Europe do.

You may need a special interface cable to connect to your phone.

Thanks everyone for your prompt reply's. After a lot of screwing around I actually partially achieved my goal.

This is how it panned out -

I re-installed the 3com drivers for the IR port. Then I went to the Nokia Forum web site and downloaded the Data Suite for my phone 8210. Even though it wasn't a data communication driver it still enabled the PC to talk to the cell phone when I activated both IR connections. Then I went to control panel and selected add new hardware and the PC detected the new hardware via the IR port... I think it must have been a stroke of luck. It loaded my phone as a "NOKIA 8210 MY STYLE MOBILE" and as a new modem and desinated the IR port now as another modem port (COM4) I then went to my dial up connections and made a new connection of which I was able to select either my 3Com modem or the IR mobile connection, dial out numbers etc. all I need to do know is speak to my ISP and get a different number to dial into as the one I am dialing into is a local call anyware in the country but not available via mobile.

So thankyou all again... if you have any qns don't hesitate to msg me.
