I have no idea if this will be of use to you...

Besides downloading the entire PC Suite 6.41, I also downloaded the IrDA
file 'Nokia6230IrDA_2000_XP.inf' and installed it independently, and still
couldn't get my IR-connected 6230 to show up in my list of installed modems.
I looked thru the aforementioned .inf file and noticed the following
section:

[Nokia]
%Nokia1%=Nokia1,IRENUM\NMPV-6230
%Nokia1%=Nokia1,IRENUM\RH-12

However, I have a US version of the 6230 which ID's itself (using *#0000#)
as an RH-28. So on a lark, I modified the 'RH-12' entry to 'RH-28',
re-installed the .inf file, and now the phone shows up in the list of
installed modems.

Though I realize you're posting from the UK, I thought this might at least
give you something to go on. Can anyone confirm that the RH-12/RH-28
difference is what distinguishes a US 6230 from a UK/Euro one? And do the
drivers and installers account for this?

Hope this helps...

Dave

Hi,

I reduced the speed of the IR port to 115 000 and then the port worked.

You must have admin rights to do that. I used standard IR modem that comes
with XP.

Thanks for the advice.

I opened up the ,inf file and checked the versions and my Nokia version is
the same as the one within the .inf file. (RH-12)

Thanks again for the reply.
