I thought that was the right one too, but i only have a 25 pin connector and a VGA connector on my motherboard, well and some USB and the normal stuff :-)

you can add a usb to serial adapter to the right null modem cable as shown by thered. but buy a good one if you are on vista.

might be easier to go to friend,family or neighbour ect and try there pc if you get stuck someone will have the right connection

i'm trying to get myself a null modem cable too,looked around everywhere,and the average price i seem to see is around 45 euro,but then i went on to ebay and found a guy in cork selling them for 6.30 including delivery,he's sold loads of them and has really good feed back,at that price it's got to be worth a try hasn't it???????????????
