You can use Hot sync manager to your laptop.

You can hot synch. I use a Mac PBG3, so not sure details of lining up a
WINTEL Box, but in any case you need to install the IR Enhancements (which
are on MacPac CD, also available on Palm site). Works very well.

Dave Dave YES you can just update your palm OS to ver 3.3 @
www.palm.com. New Hot-sync capablities, including what your looking
for !!!! But make sure you download the correct version and follow the
instructions exactly !!!!!

Use IRSync+ with your PC and Palm V. Don't upgrade to the Palm OS
3.3...it will fail.
Trying to get a solution for that now. You can get IRSync from
www.palmcentral.com.

Good luck,

This is not true!
I upgraded to OS3.3 and use no extra software to hotsync with my computer
(or other Palm, for that matter...).
This is what you do:
Upgrad both hotsync on computer and on handheld
In Prefs on handheld, goto Connection and set it to "IR to a PC/Handheld"
Still in Prefs, goto Serial/IR and set serial via Infrared
In hotsync (on handheld) set sync to happen via "IR to a PC/Handheld"

Thats all. Now, you can hotsync to your laptop. Start by pressing hotsync on
handheld...:)
Works like...eeehhh...knife through hot butter.....what ever! :)

Sorry Thomas but it looks a bit harder than that.
I gave up trying to IR sync with3.0 and didn't try again until I
installed 3.3.
Still can't get it to work-No response at all from the laptop. The V
looks like it is trying but not getting through.
I wonder if my problem could be that I am using a Toshiba Libretto
100ct with Toshiba's pre-installed version of W95 (4.00.950B)?
All the required bits seem to be installed - ie enabled IR port etc but
no joy.

Hi There,

I am a newcomer to Palm world of computing.

I believe that the info you need is contained within the readme file on the
CD supplied with the Palm V under the Hotsync section. The components needed
are available from the IBM site and once installed onto windows 95 will
enable the IR port to function. A friend has done this with a Libretto 50ct
and it works !

if you require further info I will endeavour to help

Steve

In article <zFzT3.433$Ue6....@juliett.dax.net>, "Thomas Almnes"
> > Yes Thomas I did download the W95ir.exe (11/5/96) ( and installed
same onto the Libretto) . I have no other IR "toys" so I really dont
know if the IR port on the Libretto is the problem. However I have an
IR port equiped NEC powermate at work so I will try to Ir hotsync with
that machine and see what happens.
Thanks for the help- I"ll keep trying
