Fred,
Thank you very much for your response, I was able to complete the first
step succesfully(1).
However Step 2 does not complete succesfully the Red Led goes off and the
green led stays on.
Here is how my cables are configured when I hooked up my board to the
computer, it is hooked into the
25 pin adapter(in computer), that has 25 to 9 pin then I hooked into a 9 to
25 to hook back to the mini board. So my cables go 25F to 9M connected
to 9F to 25M connected to the miniboard.
Thanks again
