Help, I have a problem with my com ports.
I have TWO serial ports....one was disabled in CMOS. I did not need but one for a long time but at my brother gave me an old DC210 and i get tired of swithching cables. I wanted BOTH serial ports enabled.....got that done but the newly enabled port is on COM 5.....why? I have (that i know of) COM 1 as first serial port....COM 2 as modem port....and thats it.
Quick Pix (WinTotal athena) only gives me a choice of selecting COM 1-4 or AUTO. ...on AUTO it does NOT find COM 5. Anyone have a clue?
Why didn't machine asign new port as COM 3 ???.seems logical to me.
Thanks
