My modem is on com 5

When i open Hyper Terminal and try to connect to my modem port com 5 , i can't because there is only com 1, 2, 3, 4 to select.

How can i add com 5 on this list ?


Thanks

Sometimes Com5 is just an alias for one of the standard com port settings, might try each com port starting at 4 and working back to 1. Connect to Com 4 and issue AT and see if the modem responds with OK, if not try Com3, Com2, Com 1 (skip Com 1 and 2 if you've got the onboard serial ports enabled and/or you're using a serial mouse).

Other wise you might try this:
