GP2 link problems...

Hi all, I'm having trouble linking between 2 pc's... On my old machine (p-166), the com3 port (sharing with a mouse on com1:) used to be available only in Windows mode, not in DOS... Even though LapLink (dos util) would see all the ports... Having "GP2 linkonmouseport" as a command line solved this... Fine... Now I have the exact same problem on my p2-350, except that the available port is supposed to be com4: (sharing with the modem on com2:)... GP2 only shows com2: as an available port...If I run "GP2 linkonmouseport", only com1, com2, & com3 (??) are available... Again, I can transfer stuff thru LapLink using com4: on the p2-350 & com3: on the p-166, Also the com4 port is listed as available from Windows Device manager (com3 isn't...) I also tried to use Comsetup from the GP2 CD, it reported my ports 1 & 2 fine, but listed the com3 with an hex address but com4 with 0000h... Tried to force com4: on the Bios defined adress (2e8h, I think) Any ideas what can be done to force GP2 to link on com4:? Thanks in advance... Jocelyn

I would recommend that you resolv your conflicts on either com 1 or com 2,since those are the ones used for serial link.I guess that you have thought of this,but it's about the only thing I can recommend.If you have a ps/2 mouse port on your machine,use that. Hope this helps:)

It seems like you did, but I'll ask anyway. Did you use COMSETUP 03E8 02E8 This should make COM2 and COM4 available in GP2. I also have the modem at COM2 and the 2nd serial on COM4, and never had any problems in direct link. And also use SET GP2=USE16550 -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.
