[Tinyos-help] Problem using C-based SerialForwarden under Windows XP

[Angel Bartomeu Bonillo]

It's still doesn't work.

Motelist returns:
Reference  CommPort   Description
---------- ---------- -------------------------------------------
M4AF4B9T   COM6       tmote sky

Then I do:

/opt/tinyos-1.x/tools/src/sf/sf.exe 9001 /dev/ttyS5 56700 telosb

Again, I have also tried many other combinations like typing
serial@/dev/ttyS5 or serial@/dev/ttyS6 (just in case), etc...

It remains returning the same 
"Couln't open serial port at /dev/ttyS5"
"Couln't open serial port at serial@/dev/ttyS5"
and so on.

Any ideas?

Thank u
