Get the meter out on your cable to make sure its not a null modem cable or apcc ups crossover cable instead of a straight through jobby.

I'll check the ebay ad see what kind of cable it was.
Christ, give me USB anyday!!

Its a "SERIAL NULL MODEM CABLE"

DOH! wtf does null modem mean?

Is that explaining my issues then?

**Welsh Dan** · 04-03-10, 03:50 PM

Yeah some of the wires cross over to different pins each end. If you wanted a "normal" one then you've got the wrong one.

Hopefully thats problem solved.
