Having problems enabling COM2.

I've done it in Bios and it shows on WinXP Device Manager, but my
serial devices do not work on it, only on COM1.

Any advice?

What kind of adapter are you using ? There are two different
pinouts for the adapter. Maybe your adapter is not an "Intel-Everex"
adapter ? I would expect all boards in the P4P800/P4C800 family
to be similar, when it comes to RS232. This guy figured out the
pinout the hard way.

Paul,

Thank you so much!!!

I just took my soldering iron out and resoldered the wires to the
pinout shown on the link and voila!

Worked like a charm.

Now I wonder what I should do to that 2-serial port pci card I won on
eBay :) I guess I'll now have 4 com ports :)

Thanks again!
