    I know you have to go the system bios to enable the infrared port, but i dont know what it is talking about when it refers to mapping or wahtever.

    The options are disabled.. and com 1, com2 , etc, i think up to com 4 or something.

    What one should i choose? and what are all these comms for?

    I guess I shoudl also ask, does it actualy come with the software to use the infrared device?



    Thanks
