I have tried both Andi Scharfstein´s and Reinis Kanders´ recommendations and
everything seems ok but there was no improvement... The comm port works fine
with my PalmPilot craddle but not with my IR tower...Does anyone else have
another recommendation?  Thanks!

Check your BIOS settings to see if those ports are enabled, maybe instead of
auto set them manually in BIOS.
Maybe soft reset is not enough to reset the port, but I doubt it, just to
check it, unplug your box for couple of seconds.

I have changed my computer and it is imposible to get my IR tower up and
running again. I have used my I tower with my old Pentium 233mmx/win95 • with no
problems at all (I have used the original lego software / NQC /WinlegOS). • After
changing my machine (Pentium III 600MMX /Win 98) there is no way that any • of
the programs recognize my IR tower. I have tried using comm1 and comm2 • with no
success. One change that I have seen: In the good old days with my working
system, every time I turned on or off my machine, the green light of the • tower
went on for a second or so. This is not the case anymore...
