I am having the same problems with ports. I am using a null modem lead and an adapter (9pin female <> 15pin Male).

All help appreciated.

You need a null modem cable lads - Maplin > Serial Null Modem 9-Pin Female to 9-Pin Female

Much cheaper on ebay though...

9 to 15 pin - haven't heard of anyone using that one before.

Your adapter might be the prob.

make sure your serial port is enabled in your bios.

All you need is a null modem cable, then connect it to the com port on your computer but if you are using a usb to com port adapter make sure it is set to com 1 or 2 if that is in use in the control panel


cheers
