Some computers will have an IR controller integrated in to the motherboard, but not the actual IR port. The computer will still think that you have an IR port and therefor it will display it as an option for communication. If this is the case, you should be able to buy an IR port and install it on your computer.
Infared networking was typically used to create wireless networks in offices and required line of sight to the IR hub (typically mounted on a ceiling). It has been replaced by the 802.11 standard in favor of its larger bandwidth, ease of implementation and its ability to transmit through objects.

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.
