Im running Virtual Box 4.3.16 (latest) I entered under settings for Virtual Box: x Enable serial port x Host Pipe x create pipe PortFile Path:.pipeCOM1 When I start the VBox Windows7 and launch Putty, then type in COM1, but there is no connection.it just blinks.I know this works on the base machine because I have connection to my Cisco router, but the serial port does not seem to work on the Vbox.
Named Pipe Serial Port Serial Port XOn the host, did you intend it to be a named pipe or a physical COM1 It doesnt seem to me to be a great idea to name a pipe COM1, and the actual COM1 is not a pipe. I think I have everything down in the attachments, please let me know if you need more information. I will not be using the base machine for the communications port only the Virtual Box.I thought I had to pipe it to my Vbox Im new to this, any help would greatly be appreciated. Everything youve entered in the dialog is correct except that Port Mode should be Host Device (not host pipe). Thank you again for the fast and accurate help, I really really appreciate it. Did you delete it If so then choosing to delete that image was a pity, since it was the most relevant picture posted. Its what told me that you have an actual COM6 on your host, hence a pipe wasnt needed. If possible you can restore that image (you can remove the blue console image) so that this discussion makes more sense to future readers. PipeDream runs on the server that runs Hyper-V (the virtualization host) and acts as a bridge between a serial port and a virtual machine. PipeDream communicates data received from the serial hardware to a virtual serial port for the virtual machine, and vice-versa. Named Pipe Serial Port Install On TheNamed Pipe Serial Port Drivers Or OtherThere is nothing to install on the virtual machine: no device drivers or other software. This maximizes compatibility with legacy operating systems and software, with operating systems such as XP or earlier readily supported. PipeDream works using Hyper-Vs named pipe support, so it doesnt need a network to communicate: set the pipe name in Hyper-V, then run PipeDream to connect the serial device to the guest VM. We are not affiliated with Microsoft, and our use of the term Hyper-V is not intended to indicate any endorsement from or affiliation with Microsoft Corporation. If PipeDream fails to start under your host operating system, please first install the Microsoft redistributables that are available here. To configure the proper settings for your serial device right click the PipeDream icon and select Run as administrator. Getting your device to work properly requires knowing baud rate and flow control settings for your device. PipeDream defaults to 9600,N,8, 1 with DTR on and DSR enabled for both directions. If you have any trouble establishing or maintaining communication between the virtual machine and your serial device (such as data sitting in PipeDreams buffer without being sent to the device or PipeDream not reading serial data), we highly recommend checking that the serial settings for your device match the port settings in PipeDream. Many devices list the baud rate and flow control settings but are silent regarding DTR and DSR sensitivity. You may need to experiment with different settings to find the ones for your device. In other words, this port appears in the virtual machine and may be different from the physical serial port on the host. To do this, click on Named pipe and enter PipeDream for the pipe name, as shown in the picture. If your serial device is on a remote computer, check the Remote computer checkbox and enter the computer name. See the example screenshot below, for a virtual machine named SillyRabbit.
