Hey guys,

I recently bought one of those cheap Infra red USB dongle on ebay. I intalled it with the driver that came with it and it appeared to be working. However, when I put my cell phone close to it, it doesen’t seem to find it.

The icon on the cell phone changes when near it and appeas to me that it recognizes the dongle. I am betting it is a driver problem. Windows recognizes it as Kingsun SF-620. Tried to find a new working driver but couldn`t.

I`ve read in some forums some kind of problem between WIN XP SP2 and these dongles.

Anyone knows anything abou this?

Thanx

Hi,

I know about the problem… At the device manager you can choose the IrDA-dongle. There you can change the settings how fast the data will be transmitted. Choose a smaller figure. And/or choose another model of your dongle. Sometimes the driver is produced for a couple of dongles… Just try another one (model).

You’re welcome.

Hey DJ thanks for the reply! What do you mean by “change de model”?

It should be the drivers installation part; the Installation CD that came with that dongle probably is used by a lot of other models produced by the same company.

So, change and try out each model on the installation CD until you get the correct one for your model.

One of them should work.

These are the setting of my one. I had to change the name of the dongle… So, this driver is used for 3 models. And if the wrong is selected, the mobile phone will be disconnected every 10 seconds (in my case).

Hope these screenshots help.
