i have a small problem with my t44.

A T44?? Where can i get a T44 sir??

I have enabled my infrared device in the thinkpad configuration panel but it just cannot connect to my mobilephone. it cannot send files to my computer and my computer cannot sne d files to my mobilephone. Is it a fatal motherboard error? Can you help me?

Have you enabled the device in your BIOS as well?

Press F1 when you are in the IBM splash page and it will send you to the BIOS page; in the BIOS page, go to config and can you see the word infrared?? Go ahead and enable that device and press F10 to save everything and exit.

**If you have already enabled the infrared device in both places and it still does not get to work, check your device manager to see whether there is any yellow ! or not.. If not, then it might be a bad infrared device soldered onto your TP motherboard or that circuit is simply not working..**

You might need to push the phone against the laptop's infrared port. Just yesterday, I tried to get two of my Thinkpads to connect via infrared and at first they couldn't. So I freaked out thinking that one or both of the ports were defective. But then I moved the ports really close to each other, and they connected.
