Most computers don't have IR ports anymore, but older laptops usually had them on the side. Desktop computers had them on the front. They will be somewhere on the computer where you would expect them to be visible in a normal home setup, since IR transmitions require line-of-sight. So they won't be on the back of the computer or anything like that. The IR port will look like a dark redish area of smooth shiny plastic on the case. A cool trick for finding IR ports is to turn out all the lights and get a digital camera or video camera and you will be able to see a white light coming from the IR port. Most digital or video cameras can see infrared (IR) light, even though the human can not. -DJ Craig
