Houston - we have a problem -

I've been trying for some days now to establish a connection between my WinXP-pc and my LanboxLC via a PC-Mac-serial cable, but it won't work.

Our LanBox <-> PC cable, or -a- PC-Mac serial cable? I know from experience that a 8 pole Mac mini DIN to DB9 female is very hard to get. If the DB9 is male it's the wrong cable.

And now I was wondering - don't I need a driver for the Lanbox? I thought every device you connect to your pc should have a driver installed in order to be recognised by the system... Or could there be something wrong with the driver/settings for my COM1-port? Or what else could be the matter?

You don not need drivers, and normally it's working on any PC, but be sure your PC has a RS232 port, not just -a- (vague) serial port, as that could be anything. When in doubt you can also try a USB<->RS232 adapter.

With LCedit+ you don't need to set the port speed or whatever, LCedit+ is doing that for you.
