Sorry, that was not precise. I see two possible reasons for your
problem:

a) Make sure, that the appropriate modules are loaded. Run 'lsmod' in a
terminal and check that
irda
irtty_sir
sir_dev
are listed.
If not, do 'sudo modprobe irda', 'sudo modprobe irtty_sir' and so forth.

b) Maybe you don't have the necessary devices? Check that the following
devices exist: /dev/ircomm0, (maybe) /dev/ircomm1. If not, once again
open a terminal and execute  'sudo mknod /dev/ircomm0 c 161 0' and maybe
'sudo mknod /dev/ircomm1 c 161 1'

Then run irdadump once again and your handy should be listed.
Now you can address your phone via this device, to connect to the
internet (GSM/UMTS). You may consider using multisync (if it supports
your phone) to backup or sync your address-book and so forth, or irobex
to push and pull files (backgrounds/ringtones for instance) on your
phone.

If you have any further questions on that, don't hesitate to ask... ;)
