[DuoList] Irda (infrared) connection between 2400c/pc

[BG]

Does either machine recognize the other in attached devices.

If you are file sharing you may need some 3rd party software, windows 
machines don't play well with pre OS X macs for file sharing. I have 
had great luck with pcmaclan, you can download and try the demo mode 
for "x" number of hours. I forget how much.

I don't know if PC's can even share over the Ir, never tried it.

Good luck
