Hi to all. I have just now a last minute problem that is creating a big trouble with an installation of a network of 10 pc where all the software access is based on a custom application I developed using Smart Card. Th readers I'm using are Gemplus GCR410 that are connected to the serial port, powered with a dc 5V source obtainend from the ps2 keyboard (or mouse) connection. The fact is that I used one of these units for some months connecting to a ps port of my notebook alternating the tests with a windows 98 machine desktop without any kind of problems. Now, connecting the same card readers with a new pc with this characteristics: PC Pentium III 1 Gb, 128 Mb ram, motherboard transcendt asl3 chipset 815, a network card Allied telesyn AT 2550 TX 10/100 mbs, ati video card 2 Mb standard. When I connect the reader the machine stop (without any error, simply stop to work). If I disconnect the power cable (connected with the serial connection on the same computer) everything start and is ready. If I connect the reader before the pc is powered on the startup procedure goes to the network user and password login prompt, then as the computer try to connect to the network stop all the operations (only the mouse seems to move over the screen, without any effect) and when I disconnect the power cable of the reader the startup proceed regularly. I tried to connect the reader with an external power source, using both the serial COM1 and COM2 and using another identical pc and I can't imagine what can be the problem and how I can solve this.
Thank you to help me asap.
