| | Networking over IrDA in Windows XP (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Although the IrDA protocol implementation in Windows 2000 was stable and the architecture was clean, this implementation lacked the broad legacy application support provided in Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me). |
 | | The IrDA stack in Windows 98/Me supported networking profiles strictly over the IrCOMM kernel-mode driver, to serve as a straightforward cable replacement; however, the IrDA stack in Windows 2000 provided no support for IrCOMM and based its networking on newly-designed IrNET and IrDial protocols. |
 | | IrDA protocol implementation in Windows XP provides infrared-enabled device connectivity to the Internet or to any other network, either through a dial-up networking profile or a local area network (LAN) access networking profile. |
