You could even wire up your DB9->RJ45 connectors with a CAT5 null modem cable, and that would work. Like Ed said, some serial ports are bad, I've had my mainboard replaced for just this reason. I hope to get to console soon. Good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sent using Phorum software version 3.3.2c <http://phorum.org>
