I have a Dell computer, which could not see the Com Port 2. The manufacturer replaced the motherboard but it still doesnt work. Can you help please?

While working at Gateway I recieved a lot of calls that were a matter of disabling the IR option in the bios and in doing so freed up irq 3 com 2. The thought I have is, can you disable a port in the bios and or in the devive manager? The modem may be trying to use com2 irq 3,5 or 11. That might be a start.

Check system resources for IRQ3 and 2F8 if they are available and com2 is enabled in the BIOS, manually add the port with the above resorces.
