Hello,
I bought a generic DKU5 cable to connect my phone to my computer.
The driver installation went fine, but the phone isn't recognize either in
PCsuite or in MobiMB
Apparently, the cable uses a Prolific 2303 component, so I tried every
driver from the prolific website without any success.
The Com-to-usb driver seems to work, but nothing happens...
Am I forgetting something to do on the nokia (I *did* plug the cable, of
course) ?
Maybe I should change something in the come-to-usb parameters
(enable/disable FIFO, change speed or parity ?)
Thanks in advance for your help !

I presume by "generic" you mean third-party?

Nokia PC Suite will only work with a genuine Nokia cable.......

.... which your cable isn't.
I've had MobiMB working with a Prolific cable but I think it had to be
setup as a serial connection. Not able to check as I don't have a
copy of MobiMB myself - I set it up for someone else.

Yes. Pardon my not-so-great english ...

So I've heard, but MobiMB should work anyway, and neither finds the phone.

Indeed, the price charged for the genuine Nokia is quite expensive...

Yes. There is a USB-to-serial adapter, but the driver is there and,
according to XP, working ...

Guess I'll have to keep searching then. Thanks for your help !

Re: DKU5 cable trouble with 6610i
I know you said you have tried all the drivers on the prolific
website, but just in case- did you try the one at the top of:
http://tech.prolific.com.tw/visitor/...brw_result.asp
It says it is for the PL-2303 chipset. May be worth ununstalling and
reinstalling a couple of times.

how so? I never understood why MS stopped mobile phones directly connected
to a serial port can be a security threat to the OS for them to close the
usage off. a firewall, now native and workable in XP will safeguard the
computer. explain how its a problem, I'm curios.

ProLific 2303 based cables aren't DKU-5. DKU-5 cables are only from
Nokia based on original Nokia DKU-5 chipset. You are using common
ProLific -based cable for data synchronization purposes. PC Suite
won't recognize it, as it works with genuine Nokia cables only. We can
suggest to have a look at Oxygen Phone Manager II (
http://www.opm-2.com/ ). In Oxygen Phone Manager II in 'Tools' ->
'Options' -> 'Connection and common' -> 'Add port' you should set COM
port's number from 'Control panel' -> 'System' -> 'Hardware' ->
'Device manager' -> 'Ports COM and LPT' -> 'Prolific USB to Serial
bridge' and specify its type as 'DLR-3/DLR-3p'. Also in some cases one
may need to set up this virtual COM port's speed to 115200 bit/s
(standard data synchronization speed, used by Nokia phones).
If you have any questions and/or suggestions, concerning our
program, feel free to post them on our official forum

That's funny cos I got PC suite through a generic 2303 based DKU-5 cable
to recognise my 3100 under XP just the other day. Win98SE wouldnt work but
XP was OK.
