New laptops dont come with Serial connection anymore. Thats a problem if your
studying/configuring cisco routers. Cisco can only configured with console cable.
I searched ebay and found the RS232 to USB converter but, the driver that comes with it is not
working.

Im going to use putty instead of hyperterminal (windows vista and windows 7 does not have
hyperterminal). Below are the procedures on how I configured putty to access my cisco router.

Plug your console cable to cisco router and the RS232 (female) to RS232 (male) of converter
and plug the USB in your laptop. Now, you have to check the communication port number from
Computer Management (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer
Management > Device Manager and look at Port (COM & LPT).
