Hello,
     I need a lesson on using the infrared capabilities of a computer.  The motherboard I am using is a Shuttle 637P.  The board does have infrared capabilities. But I don't know what I am doing and my supplier of the board does not either.  The Shuttle web site was no help either.  Here is what I have done.
     I have gone into the BIOS and enabled the infrared.  The web site said COM2 can be configured for infrared communicatio.  I did that.  When I restarted the computer, Windows 98 found the infrared port and installed the software for it.  I get a small icon on the taskbar telling me it is looking for an infrared device.  I have a HP laser printer that supports infrared communication.  The printer is set up correctly.  The LPT port is set for LPT 3 which is the infrared port.  The printer is located about 10 feet away.  Everything is working fine but the computer does not see the printer.  Is there something else I need to attach to the computer?  Where does the infrared signal come from, the front or back of the computer? I have pointed the computer both ways to the printer.  What have I missed?

Thank you
Jim Cook
