serial port....strange error

Hi

Im having a weird issue with my serial ports. Up until now I have only had one arduino so it was running just fine. Today I plug in my friends arduino and it completely screws things up!

My board's serial port is A7006SVC and my friends is A9007LJA. For some odd reason, when I now plug mine in, I can only select my friends serial (A9007LJA) in the tools menu, and when I plug my friends in I can only select my serial (A7006SVC)!!

This is obviously causing the 'serial port not found' message each time as it is searching for the wrong serial.

I have tried installing the drivers again to no prevail....someone please help me!

thanks

Andrew

oh...and i'm running it on a mac

What OS are you running?

In the new Snow leopard there is a configuration control for each location.
Try creating a new location in the network preferences and trying again plugging the devices in.
If that fixes it you can go back and edit out the configurations for that port device and try again.

thanks, yeah its snow leopard

ill try that out
