Searched the web, searched here, can't figure this one out.
I have and Earthmate and Tripmate Serial, I don't care which one I use for stumbling. Both work on Dell, Compaq and Toshiba computers so it's not the GPS.
Windows 2000, (fresh install) Netstumbler finds the networks fine when I = VIEW > OPTIONS > GPS for either one I get GPS: Disconnected, Timed Out. Even if I get it to read Listening, it still ends up GPS: Timed Out. Error opening serial port is another one.
Checked com3, even though there is no com3 on this laptop.
Reset port to 8n1 4800, tried 9600 and 4800 on both GPS. Uninstall serial port and let the computer find it again.
Is this an old Thinkpad issue, with limited resources, possibly Windows 2k problem. Yes I update the serial port drivers.
I know it's not a NS problem, but a hardware/device problem, but anyone have experience with this?
