How do I use my cellphone as a modem with my Mobilepro?
(Thanks to Mike aka Surrealmonk at HPC Factor) He writes: I was unable to tether my Motorola cell phone via IrDA. There appeared to be no built in IR modem driver. I searhced high and low… I downloaded the generic driver from here (HPC Factor) and it didn’t seem to work. I set the IrDA speed to 115.2. If I use the Direct Link Infrared connection, I do see my phone light up for a moment, so I know the IR ports on both devices are working, but the phone doesn’t respond at all, and I get an error that the port is not available or misconfigured. Looking in the registry, COM3 appeared to be the port it works on, so I’m wasn’t sure what was wrong. I finally managed to figure out how to get IrDA tethering to work… Apparently, the MobilePro uses two COM ports for the infrared adapter – COM3 for direct connection, COM6 for IrCOMM. So I went into the registry and changed the port from COM3 to COM6, and voila! I’m typing this on my MP tethered to my cell right now… So there’s a tip to post
