Hey Gang,

I recently had a customer buy a new system. He requested additional USB ports and 2 additional Serial Ports. The USB was no problem, but the serial ports are giving me grief.

I purchased a dual port PCI serial port card. The card installed fine, but I neglected to notice that my modem was using Com 4. Because of this, the port card assigned Com 5 and Com 6 to the physical ports on the card. Now no matter what I try, I can't get the port card to use Com 3 and Com 4. Unfortunately, the users serial devices will not use a port address any higher than 4. I know that this card generally assigns 3 and 4 to its ports.

I have tried removing the modem, hell I"ve removed all the other cards. I've tried a system restore back to before the card was installed. I have probably tried 20 times to remove the port card and reinstall it without any luck.

Does anyone know how I can make this work.

Thanks
