What sort of cable to do you have? I have a PIC based cable and have no problems.

If you are using the parallel cable, then there is no way to get it working. It is due to the way that w2k (Nt4, W2k & XP) handle the hardware that prevent it.

I have also had no luck getting the Serial cable working.

After having spent lots on trying to make cables (about 5 attempts!) I gave up and purchased a PIC cable from someone here in Aust.
