If you have the 64 bit version of Windows, Hyperterminal won't run unless it's the paid version. There is a dll that needs to be present for Hyperterminal to work and I THINK it will work under the 32 bit version of Windows, not sure.

Drop back a bit. Take your connector and do a loopback. No flow control and just connect Tx and Rx at the connector. Get each end to work separately before connecting the machines together.

i am having both 32bit .. i just done a loopback check.. they are working fine.
-
i connected the same way... pin3 tx to pin 2 rx ... pin 2 rx to pin3 tx ...
-
the connection shows connected.but when i tried to send a file ,it doesnt receive,,timed out.
-
is there a proper procedure to send words ? i mean i want to type "HELLO" in one computer and want to see that in other computer

Did you connect SG or signal ground?

File sending has to rely on either hardware or software flow control. Software flow control is based on ^S for stop and ^Q for start.

Hardware flow control has been so messed up, it's hard to tell. It was supposed to be RTS and CTS. It was mangles so much it was a mix of DTR, DSR, CTS and DTS.

what is the difference between software and hardware control ????

 

[kdg007]

for now.. i have connected two computers.it is showing that the connection has been established. i am having trouble sending the data.

 

[kdg007]

i am assuming we dont need internet connection for using hyperterminal ?

 

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

No, you don't need an internet connection, but make sure Hyperterminal works on the XP and the Win 7 side first. You just want one computer, hyperterminal and Tx connected to Rx. See if it echos.

Then do the same to the other computer.

For the two computer test:

Parity, # of start, #stop bits, Baud and # of data bits must match including handshaking and baud. The wrong characters received means your getting close.

If you want to see what your typing, you will have to enable half duplex or local echo.

 

[kdg007]

i did enabled the echo .... hmm..maybe i sending the data wrong.. i typed "HELLO" in one computer but i couldn't see it on other computer...

 

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

You should see one character at a time.

I know you said you were using a null modem cable but are you 100% sure it is a null modem cable as in you have rung it out? With everything correctly set this should be working?

It looks like the D connectors can be wired as will. If tx is connected to Rx and a null modem cable is employed, then that negates the crossover.

 

[kdg007]

i was using the wrong cable... thank you everyone for your help

its working now
