Connecting by wireless

To connect to another computer using wireless devices, simply start LapLink, and the connection opens automatically..

Connect over Wireless works automatically, connecting two Win95,98 or WinME computers when their infrared or other wire- less devices are within range of each other.

Using LapLink, you can open short-range connections between computers equipped with infrared (IrDA) ports.1

You can also connect using other wireless devices: With a cellular modem, use Connect over Modem. With a wireless LAN adapter, use Connect Over LAN (Network).

1Wireless connections are not available in Windows NT or Windows 2000, XP or 2003.

•Prepare your infrared or other wireless devices to com- municate with each other. (e.g.:move within range).

•Ensure that the wireless port on each computer is enabled in LapLink. See ”Checklist for wireless connec- tions.

•Run LapLink on both computers.
