IF I try to send from the PEG-S300, my NX70V never sees anything. Any Ideas? UPDATED on 16 Jan, scroll down! __________________ Freedom isn't Free!

My NX can perform the following stuff 1) Can receive files from other PDA through Infrared 2) Perform HotSync through Infrared 3) Can remote control TV through Infrared 4) CANNOT send files to other PDA through Infrared Any other NX user facing this kind of problem? __________________ :) Arthur :)

The 66mhz sony units my coworkers have don't play nice with my NX. I can receive just fine. I had to soft reset in order to get that working. The 66mhz units (665, NR70) give the error message "can't find a receiving handheld computer." I have emailed Sony but they haven't given me a good answer.

Make sure beam receive is on, and in some cases a soft reset is necessary. __________________ Cheers! Larry Winward T\|T3 + SE T610 + SE HBH-65 = BT Heaven!

I do have a IR keyboard app that isn't working and got an email from tech-support so I'm calling them tomorrow, let everyone know what the result is. __________________ Freedom isn't Free!

Hotsync'd and Soft Reset my NX 2. Went to the Sony Support Site and downloaded the T665 patch and installed that which performed a reset of its own. 3. Beamed file from my NX to the T and it worked. Hope this helps. __________________ Current Clie: NX-60 Previous Clie's: S320, T415, N610, T615, T665 Previous PDA: Palm IIIxe

MrGadget256 Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2003 Posts: 23	Update-- The IR Keyboard that I purchased from CompUSA, called the Iconcepts and manufactured by www.sakar.com does not support OS5, tech support says they will have a driver by Feb. As for beaming, I've tried the suggestions and hard and soft reset, checked to make sure beaming is on in both my CLIE's and so far the NX70V does not recoginze anything coming in, and the PEG-S300 sees the NX70V (Waiting for sender) but eventually the NX70V says (Could not find a receiving handheld computer). I've tried 1" to 12" with no success. Time to call Sony support (Just thinking about it is making my skin crawl and my hair stand on end) Anyone have any sucess stories or OTHER hints? __________________ Freedom isn't Free!
