USB to Null modem

**ronaldo121** · 02:15 PM

Hi i have purchased on of these HERE

I am running Vista ultimate on my lappy so and help would be much appreciated as i can seem to get anything going! I have never used dreamup before only ever flashed using flashwizardpro

<--ronaldo121 added 82 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...-->

i have managed to set up the port on a mates XP laptop! Now when i use dreamup and select the port (COM2) and click connect then i put the power lead in but nothing happens i have tried this on about 5 occasions now! Still no luck

Any help much appreciated!

Ron m8, have a wee look at smirnoff's thread below, not sure if its the same for Vista but worth a shot.

How to change COM port settings using USB-to-Serial Adapter

**big e**

was having the same problem until I got an adapter from here

It installed it no problem.
On the "serial port " at the top of Dreamup page there's a drop down arrow-it installed my usb to null cable and it reads the Dreambox on COM 7
ps I didn't go anywhere near the Dreambox menu!
