Hi all

Quick question thats boggling me...

If a PC/Server has 4 available COM ports with 3 existing devices attached to them, How do i find out which port my device is connected to.? in windows i can see a shite load of available ports and 5 or 6 ports saying the are already in use.. But how do i know which one of those ports in use are connected to my device..

During a telephonic support call i was asked "What COM port is the Xlink modem connected to?" Errrmm i dunno?

Thanx in Advance..

Suka

Under control panel -> modems it shows which com port it uses (if its internal its probably COM3 but dont take my word for it)
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
