is the COM port turned on in the BIOS? Do you have a modem installed
somewhere? Could be conflicts or just turned off..

Subject: [PCBUILD] Serial Ports Failed ?
I have a Dell 4100 933 MHz machine with a palm III hooked to the serial
port. It ceased to hot sync and subsequent troubleshooting indicated the
serial port had failed (palm and cradle/cable are good; they work fine on a
second machine). The System device manager said all was fine and there were
no error messages. I bought a PCI serial card installed it; which went
fine. System device manager is fine, but like the original port it will
transmit no data. In both cases the ports were configured as COM 1 using
interrupt 4.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob
