SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to transfer a file from one computer to another computer using an infrared (IR) connection, you may receive the following error message:

The recipient device is not ready to receive. Please make sure Infrared Transfer is enabled on the receiving device.

This error message may occur even though Infrared Transfer is enabled on the receiving computer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the minimum transmission speed for the IR device on one computer is lower than the minimum transmission speed for the IR device on the other computer. For example, you may receive the error message if the minimum transmission speed for the IR device on one computer is 2400 bits per second (bps), but the minimum transmission speed for the IR device on the other computer is 9600 bps.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 98.



MORE INFORMATION
To enable Infrared Transfer, right-click Infrared Recipient in My Computer, and then click Enable Infrared Transfer.
