I have helped bizzyblaze in "Send pictures from T310/T316 to computer" with this lil guide on how to install yor newly bought IrDA adapter on your Win2K and/or WinXP. This process needz NO sync softwarez at all, only that you have downloaded the drivers from yor adapter's manufacturer webpage. And probably Allen is sick and tired of me, but I'd be happy if this one would be an Announcement too  . Here it is:
Win2k is VERY similar to XP both in features and interface. No matter what adapter ya'll get, follow these steps:
1. Try to know your adapter's model no. and go to its website, then download its driver.
2. Save the driver to yor hard disk
3. Go to Control Panel, select Add/Remove Hardware. The Add/Remove Hardware Wizard will appear. Click Next
4. Select Add/Troubleshoot a device, click Next
5. After the hardware detection process, select Add a new device, click Next
6. Select No, I want to select the hardware from a list, click Next
7. Select Infrared devices for the type of hardware you want to install, click Next
8. When the Select Infrared Device appear, click Have Disk
9. Choose the [adpater model no.].inf in the directory created at above
10. Continue to choose "blablabla Serial Infrared Device" and click Next
11. Select the proper physical connection (COM1 or COM2) and click Next. This port selection must correspond to the actual IrDA adapter physical connection
The next couple of steps will verify if you've done everything OK:
+1. Go to Control Panel, click System
+2. Select the Device Manager under Hardware page to check if Infrared devices is present and click it to check if "blablabla Serial Infrared Device" is present
+3. Double click the Mobile Action "blablabla Serial Infrared Device", when XYZ Serial Infrared Device Properties appear, select IrDA Settings page and set the Maximum Connection Rate to be xxxx (you'll have to experiment this), click OK
If everything goes well, you have a Phone-PC connection without any of the friggin sync softwares!!
For WinXP users: switch to "Classic view" first, only then my walkthru makes sense...
When you put yor phone in the right position (make sure that the diode on the adapter is lit) with the IR turned on in the phone. Then you'll see the red diode flashing on the adapter, you'll get some sort of sound, and a nice lil icon on yor Taskbar. Double-click on that, and you can choose what filez to send to yor mobile, and all sorts of Properties menus are reachable from this icon too. Of corz, it detects automatically, and asks you if you want to accept the transfer when yor sending stuff from yor mobile to yor PC...

Well, there's supposed to be some sort of model no. on yor IrDA adapter. It's not in red colorz probably, and may be at a quite discreet place. As for me, I have a sticker on the bottom of the adapter which is as follows:
MOBILE ACTION TECHNOLOGY INC.
MODEL MA-600
Tested to comply with FCC standards
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
{plus, the usual CE pics and company logos etc.
Try to inspect yor adapter more closely. A legally purchased product HAS to have some sort of marking on it, which mostly includes the model no. also, and the manufacturer's name. Then, all you have to do is to type the manufacturer's name into yor browzer, and then there's a 90 % chance you'll find something...

What OS do you have? Coz if the irda does detect your phone, then the drivers are (at least) halfway working. Check your device manager. If it says that there's some fuss around your driver, then try reinstalling it, or contact Mobile Action at their website.
