The red LED is most likely user LED 1 that turns on when powered. Make sure your COM ports are enabled in the BIOS. If you use a USB to serial adapter the serial port id starts at 5 or 6. In either case check your device manager by right-clicking My Computer -> Properties and go to the hardware tab. Under ports make sure your COM ports are installed and are working correctly and you are using the right number. Try other simple ovelooked things. Try using a different serial cable. Make sure the power is sufficient.
