I've just bought cheap Nokia 6020 with Infrared and GPRS features. Because I want to connected this Nokia 6020 to computer as a modem through Infrared, I got trouble when PC want to sync with Nokia 6020. The message is "Wireless link interrupted the link has been blocked or the device has moved out of range".
Im sure I have plugged the USB IrDA adaptor (SigmaTel USB-IrDA dongle) and the phone position correctly, but the message always appear. Even Windows XP can recognize the Infrared without need to install the driver, I think the problem is in the driver and Nokia PC Suite. So I install the driver and Nokia PC suite, but this solution is not solve the problem.
If your Infrared position is correctly and still see the message "Wireless link interrupted the link has been blocked or the device has moved out of range", When you try to dialup using the Infrared port, try the following solution. In the System Tray, right-click on the Infrared icon and select Properties. Click on the Hardware tab and select Properties.
When the Properties window opens, click on the Advanced tab and select the Infrared Transceiver Type property. Change the value to "Vishay TFD".
You should now be able to use your Infrared port. To make new Internet connection follow this steps:
1. Select Connect to the Internet. Click Next.
2. Select Set up my connection manually. Click Next.
3. Select Connect using a dial-up modem. Click Next.
4. Check the option Infrared Modem. Click Next.
5. Give a name to your ISP. Click Next.
6. Type in the phone number to dialup to your ISP for GPRS access.
7. Select My Use Only. Click Next.
8. Enter your user name and password to login to your ISP.
A new Dial-up Connection icon will be added to the Network Connections icon. Simply double-click on it and click on the Dial button to get connected to the Internet.
