20 centimeters (8 inches) of one another.
Before you can connect by infrared, you must set up and
configure an infrared port on your desktop or notebook PC. Many
notebook PCs have a built-in infrared port; however, you may
need to install a third-party infrared transceiver on your desktop
PC. For more information about installing and configuring that
device for use with your desktop PC, refer to the instructions that
came with your infrared port.
The Desktop Software for Microsoft Windows CE compact disk
also includes infrared device drivers for Windows 95.

compact disk into the CD-ROM drive on your desktop
PC, and then run Setup.exe.
2. Click Optional Components, and then select the
Windows 95 Communications Driver setup program.
