I have just recently purchased a refurbished Nec MobilePro 780 from ebay. Naturally it only came with an AC adapter and battery pack. I was looking to buy a replacement serail cable for it but was unable to find one for a decent price. So i decided to buy one of those usb to infrared dongle numbers. I got everything setup, drivers for ir device and activesync 3.8. I have my 780 all setup for ir with a speed of 115.2k as well as my ir device. This is where i'm stumped. I start Activesync and it goes to the "get connected wizard". So then i go to my 780 and click on the "pc link" under "communication". That brings up a box that says "connecting to host"; at that moment i click next on the "get connected wizard" on my desktop. Now at this point i expect the two computers to find each other and establish a connection...... however they do not. Both activesync on my desktop timesout as well as my 780. Now in the activesync window that follows that failure, it says your device was not dectected, however i did notice that my infrared port is in an available state, which i guessing is a good thing. Also i noticed that the ir device blinks when i click pc link on my 780, so that tells me that my 780 is sending a signal and the device is receiving the signal.... so what gives? why won't activesync recognize my device? Everything is setup the way it should be yet activesync refuses to talk to my 780
PlEASE HELP
