It's been a while, but I believe you need the "peacemaker" program.
Peacemaker allowed PPC to beam to Palm PDA's (make peace with the other
side). And there's also a bug in the PPC that names can't be beamed, except
from the overview screen. Even then I had trouble when an acquaintance
tried beaming to me.
I'm assuming you're using Smart Dog's IrOBEX, right, not Eckhart's program?
