next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
This was fixed by a simple reboot. But I am still
unable to get console access. I believe it may be a
problem with the cabling and connectors I am
using. Does anyone have any recommendation
for some store bought connectors at like Radio Shack,
to setup console access between 2 machines using the
serial com ports ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
