Connecting phone to computer via infra-red

[M14A-Mclaren]

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has tried connecting their phone to their computer successfully and transfered stuff over? I've got a nokia 8310 and got hold of a laptop with a infra-red port and downloaded nokia pc suite and have been trying to ge the two to transfer, it seems to be dropping the connect or not getting a real connect because it comes up in connection wizard but then drops out. I've also tried Oxygen phone manager but that wont connect either.

If anyone got any suggestions I would very much appreciate it
