Greg - first you have to compile in the IrDA support (it's not enabled by
default in 0.6.1), please read the README-WIN32 file for details, then
your gnokiirc just needs to contain:

[global]
connection = irda
model = 3360

NB: The IrDA device should appear in device manager as an IrDA adapter,
if not then you'll need to double check the installation instructions for it
:)

The PC should also notify you when it detects the phone nearby, if so then
you have a very good chance of making it all work.

Try the 3360 setting, then 'gnokii --identify' once the phone is in range.
If that
looks good (you should get IMEI etc.), try other gnokii commands...
