For some reason I could not get ActiveSync to connect over COM2.
Vmware Fusion Serial Port Socket Serial Port WorkingMy end goal is get ActiveSync from my Treo 800W to my guest Windows XP working, but I think the main problem is just getting the serial port working to the guest.On Parallels I was using the steps outlined at which were working fine.Vmware Fusion Serial Port Socket Mac Blutooth SerialEssentially I was using a client called SerialClient that somehow mapped my Mac blutooth serial port to tmpserial.
I then added a serial port to parallels that pointed at tmpserial and everything worked. I have tried adding a serial port in vmware and pointing it to tmpcu.Bluetooth-PDA-Syn, but when vmware starts it says it can not open it. I have tried using SerialClient to create a tmpserial mapping and point vmware at that, but then Serial Client says the resource is busy and cant connect. ![]() Here are the entries you need to set (make sure to suspend the VM first): serial0.present TRUE serial0.fileType pipe serial0.pipe.endPoint server serial0.startConnected TRUE serial0.fileName tmpserial If your serial0 (COM1) is already in use (for example for Printing), you can use serial1 (COM2) instead. Of course, if the entry is from you trying to use a file output, you can safely replace those lines. Make sure you dont have duplicate entries for these lines (they may be spread out throughout the.vmx file). Start the VM first, and make sure the virtual serial device is connected (Virtual Machine - Serial Port). ![]() If you want to place the socket file somewhere else, change tmpserial to another path (both in the.vmx and SerialClient). I was able to use this configuration on two computers to communicate over a bluetooth serial port with HyperTerminal. I did notice some serial0: Overrun entries in the vmware log. What settings are you using for SerialClient I have 115200,8,None,1 and am wondering if I should turn down the baud rate a bit or add some flow control to avoid the overrun. Thanks That did it. Note, I had to disable the printer serial port and use serial0.
