Infrared Connectivity

1. There is an IrCOMM upgrade needed for Windows 2000.
2. I have downloaded the drivers required for the Windows CE modem driver for the Nokia 7110 phone from your website, but it is giving me 8810 drivers.
3. I am looking for new ".mdm" drivers so I can use my phone as a Lotus Notes modem.
4. Is it possible to connect to the Internet through my mobile phone using Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with an infrared port?
5. Can I install my Nokia phone from the infrared monitor by choosing "Enable software installation for Plug and Play devices in range"?

1. There is an IrCOMM upgrade needed for Windows 2000. If your PC is running Windows 2000, make sure that you have upgraded it with the IrCOMM patch. Without the IrCOMM patch installed, you will not be able to make data calls with your PC using your 7110 phone. Updates for Windows are available from the Microsoft Download Center at: www.microsoft.com.

2. I have downloaded the drivers required for the Windows CE modem driver for Nokia 7110 phone from your website, but it is giving me 8810 drivers. Nokia 7110 and all Nokia Data Supported Phones are using the same drivers as Nokia 8810 in Windows CE.

3. I am looking for new ".mdm" drivers so I can use my phone as a Lotus Notes modem. Nokia Mobile Phone is not updating mdm driver for the latest cc:Mail Mobile versions.However you can use normal Windows dial-up connection instead with the latest cc:Mail versions.

4. Is it possible to connect to the Internet through my mobile phone using Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with an infrared port? If the IrDA driver is supported by an operating system, then a Nokia mobile phone will allow a connection. Windows NT 4.0 does not have an IrDA driver as opposed to Windows 95 and 98, which has a Microsoft infrared monitor.

5. Can I install my Nokia phone from the infrared monitor by choosing "Enable software installation for Plug and Play devices in range"? No it is not advisable. With the Nokia 8890 phone, you can find the modem driver installation software on the CD-ROM which also contains the modem driver for your phone, for use with Win 95/98 (IrDa & cable) and with Win NT (cable). The DLR-3 cable is sold as an accessory.
