Need Major Help With Profilux 2ex issues

Yeah, if you have a LAN port on the profilux you can connect it via an internet cable to your laptop. Not sure of the details as I don't have the LAN connection on my profilux.

Well stupid me I was looking at the wrong port on my controller thinking it was a LAN but it was something else. Back to my delema again.

I took a look at the link and hit a snag. On my device manager there is no line that list Ports and LPT, last thing on the list is USB controller.

What's the connection like between your profilux and laptop? On mine, I have the GHL supplied RS232 cable plugged into the back of the profilux... connected to that I have an $8 futureshop RS232->USB adaptor cable.

WHen I plug into my laptop, my laptop recognizes the USB->serial adaptor and then I can connect via the profilux control program.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but it might also be worth trying a new cable.

I will be trying that for sure, I was wondering if there was on adapter for the RS232 to go to a USB. Thanks for the info Chris.
