this should go in the computer support forum but i'm the dictator here and i can do whatever i want...
I can't get Windows server 2003 enterprise to recognize my com ports... When I go into device manager, it only lists lpt1 and no com ports.
how do i make it recognize it so i can get online?
I looked in BIOS and there's nothing that could affect that. On a different computer, I had to change a plug&play setting in bios to get win2k to recognize the lpt1, but on this computer bios doesn't have any plug & play settings.
???

Actually, I find it a more stable system than XP after 2 service packs, tho the needed specialty server related AV and FW software really blows.
