Change the COM ports to see if that will connect. You ARE using the Serial to USB cable right not a USB to USB?

Yeah, read that in the manual. My laptop does not support the old **** Serial connection protocol, so for those that don't have that, you have to buy a cable from Radio Shack or equivalent electronic store, that converts the serial back to USB.
