Subject: [mythtv-users] Lirc and laptop IR ports

I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 that has a built-in IRDA port. How do I know the address of that port. I know if it were plugged into a serial port I'd just point to that serial port and set the communication settings. Any ideas on how to find this one. Would it still show on a serial port? What kind of name would it show up as? I am running FC6. I went by Jarod's instructions for a serial receiver just to see if I could find it by accident but don't think that worked since irw won't run. I plan on having another test Myth FE running on another laptop that has an integrated IR port. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
