I am using a USB serial adaptor. I had the same problem as above. All I had to do what rename my COM ports so my USB to serial port was COM 1. Easy as that.
Well guys i got the belkin USB to serial today, and well...guess what....It sees my XEDE after tweaking the settings on my PC and changing com ports to match it connected fine. Only problem i can report is real time data seems to be very very slow and not "real time" . Also when i try to download my current maps to my laptop, the software seems to not respond (though it did once, but i didnt know what to do), but Just wanted to say, yes it connects!
