Re: c-RIO connection troubles
Unfortunately no. WinDoze won't detect the cRIO on the other end of a serial port. You'll need to run hyperTerminal or other terminal emulator like Teraterm and set it up to connect to your serial port at the 9600,N,8,1 setting I described earlier.

On the other hand, it should be able to detect when the Ethernet carrier comes up because the cRIO has booted. If the settings are right, you'll see a "Ethernet connected" message show up in the task bar on the lower right-hand corner of the window.

HTH,
