This is my first post, but been lurking for a while [Embarassed] I initially had the same problem when I tried to connect my IBM T40 (running XP Pro) to my 4000x using a USB to serial adaptor. I found the problem was that the USB adaptor was showing up as COM5 but the DSC software only looks at COM 1,2,3 & 4. If you go into the device manager you can force the USB adaptor onto one of the other spare COM ports. As soon as I told it that it was COM2, everything started to work fine. Cheers, Ian.
