jEmplode Win2k Serial port not working

Hi.

I have a strange problem with Jemplode 36 under Win2k:

While emplode finds the empeg (2.0b11) with no problem on either serial, USB or Ethernet, jEmplode only finds it via USB or Ethernet.

I made sure that serial is checked in the connection options, also made sure the serial port does work and that there are no conflicts (such as with PalmConnect or similar software). And as I said: It works OK using the original 2.0b11 emplode.

Any hints what else I should check?

Make sure the win32com.dll is in your jre\bin directory, that would be the first thing. Are you using your own Java VM or the one that came with jEmplode?

Hi.

That seems to be it. I am using Suns j2sdk 1.4.0, and there is no win32com.dll in its /bin or jre/bin directories. But even though I copied it there now (one of the directories at a time or both), it isn't finding the empeg at com1. If I limit jemplode to only check the serial port, it immidiately returns and doesn't seem to check the serial port actually.
It works with jemplode's own jre though. Any idea how I could get it to work with the j2sdk?

OK -- two more steps then ... (i should have included them all in the original post):

1) <you already did this> copy win32com.dll into your jre/bin dir
2) copy javax.comm.properties into your jre/lib directory
3) copy comm.jar into your jre/lib/ext directory

Thanks. It is working now.
