Dear, All

How can I use my nokia e50 phone as IRDA (bluetooth) adapter on
winxp?

AFAIK it should be a proxy on phone that will catch signals from IR
(bluetooth) devices and will send them to Win32 driver via USB
cord.... But I can't find any information about such programs.

Thank you for assistance.

cannot be done. A phone isn't like a bluetooth dongle for a pc.

Doezel is right. You have to have a USB Bluetooth adapter dongle to
connect your phone to WinXP. Otherwise, use a USB cable. What are you
trying to do exactly?

And a bluetooth dongle is around 10 euros, which you can use to connect both
your nokia and any other bluetooth device you want.

I want to extend my PC with IRDA (bluetooth) adapter. Purchase of IRDA
is a simple way. :)
I want my phone to turn to IRDA.
