did you buy the laptop brand new? or is it used? if its used, its possible that the bluetooth and infrared are disabled via the bios. if so, unless you are lucky, and the previous owner did not use a password, you cannot restore those settings unless you take the latop apart and flash the eeprom. disconnecting the cmos battery will not work. i know because my brother got a 'brand new' dell laptop that turned out to be used, and the infrared and bluetooth were disabled in the bios.
to confirm this, press f2 when booting, you will enter the bios setup. navigate around there, and you should find out if there is an admin password enabled
if so, get in contact with the supplier ASAP.

And also possible that the first owner formatted the system and lost drivers  |

Are you sure your model of DELL D600 has bluetooth and infra-red? or were you just told it has? Cos the specification reviews I have gone through on the net say the DELL D600 has no in-built bluetooth or infra-red device.
Confirm the model and part number of your laptop, and check it out on the Dell's website to check its full specifications. (D600 is currently no longer supported) by DELL).
Cheers!

I also think the DELL600 hasnt got any bluetooth or infrared hardware in it. But if u desperately want to use bluetooth with it, u could get yourself a USB bluetooth stick which i guess should be sold down there. Normally it shouldnt cost that much.
