infrared and bluetooth
Erm, no. Bluetooth to Bluetooth, yes, Infrared to Infrared yes, but one to
the other.... not as far as I am aware. It's easier and a lot cheaper to use a crossover cable if no network is available. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "toofast4yoo" wrote in message ... can a infrared port on a laptop communicate with bluetooth on another laptop?

ports or usb ports? "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Erm, no. Bluetooth to Bluetooth, yes, Infrared to Infrared yes, but one to the other.... not as far as I am aware.

No, a crossover cable goes into the Ethernet port.
