SYMPTOMS
When you try to beam a file by using the Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol over Infrared (IR), the transfer may fail with some target devices.

Note This problem does not occur when you accept files during a data transfer and when your device is in the role of an OBEX server.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because a status flag is set incorrectly in the Microsoft Windows CE .NET OBEX support. The flag causes the enumeration of IR devices to terminate prematurely only when the device initiates a transfer as a client device.
