Hey
I have a USB to Serial converter, i wanted to use it to communicate with a modem via hyper terminal, i have used this converter before and it worked however i am having problems transmitting data.
It worked perfect on another laptop (laptop B).
If i connect the USB to Serial to Laptop A and connect Laptop A to Laptop B via RS232 Communications, then setup hyperterminal on both (same baud, e.tc) i can send typed messages from Laptop B to Labtop A however i can't send from Laptop A to Laptop B.
From all this testing, I know the serial converter works on another PC, i know it gets setup on Laptop A ok because i can receive data but i can't figure out why i can't transmit anything from Laptop A.
I have tried to disable firewalls, reinstall drivers. I have also used a free serial port monitor, this shows the messages i type in hyperterminal i.e hyperterminal is passing the data successfully, i just dont know where its getting lost.
Any idea appreciated.
Mike
