Disable COM ports is your BIOS.
On a related note...
I have an Actisys IR port that connects to the MB's IRDA header. Win2k detects the port when it's connected, but it doesn't designate it as COM2. It uses the IRQ that the COM2 serial port would normally use when I disable "UART2 Use Infrared" in my BIOS, though. Is there any way to use the IR port as COM2? Thanks!
