Tried both, com 1 and 2. The communication test fails. The remote control pad works fine, so it's on the computer end. Suggestions?

did you set your com port properly? you might need to set it to 9600 or so. and the remote control is not commnicating with your X10 computer interface unit anyway, it's communicating with the reciever (the one with the antenna).
