Are you using an external serial adapater (DB9 to RJ45)? If so are you

Cheers dude. Well I'm using the light blue cisco cable as supplied with
my router.

The only thing is that my machine doesn't have a serial port built-in
except for the mobo header, so I had to connect one of those adapters
that fit in a PCI bracket and hook up to the COM header via a small
ribbon cable. This essentially gives me an available serial port on the
box. Do you think this adapter bracket might be wired incorrectly?

Anyway I will go an check it on another box somehow to verify.
