Hi Excuse me for my poor english but I'm french. I encountered the same trouble with this chip (Prolific PL-2302). David Brownell gave me some help (thanks to him) and finally, after trying a lot of things, following his advice, I've bought a Laplink cable (Netchip TurboConnect) and it works perfectly. Probably was the prolific cable not compatible with the usbnet (following D. Brownell, some Prolific works, some others doesn't work).
