Issue resolved - after much uninstalling/reinstalling of the driver, it finally works with no changes to our PHP code.

So my question is: Have others successfully accessed USB devices via a serial emulator installed in the guest OS? Is there any trick to getting it to work, or should it "just work"? Kromey Posts: 4 Joined: 9. I've seen a few posts where the USB-serial emulation was being done on the host, but for various reasons I must do this in the guest. Specifically, when our software tries to access it via a file handle (a proven method that we've used for years), a file named "com3" is created on the file system instead! I fear it's VirtualBox getting in the way somehow, although it doesn't seem like it should. My issue is that my Windows guest can't seem to access this COM port.

I have no serial ports enabled in the guest settings, and indeed Device Manager shows only the one COM port (and also an LPT1, but I don't think that's relevant, and was indeed there long before I started in on this endeavor).

The pole display has a driver that creates an emulated COM port (in my case, it chose to emulate COM3). I have a USB pole display (the thingie on cash registers that tells you how much each item costs as it is scanned) plugged into my host and selected in my guest, just like I've done for other USB devices I've used in the guest (mostly credit card readers - can you tell what kind of software I help develop? ). VirtualBox 4.0.4 OSE, with the USB plugin installed - and working great for other USB devices.

If you face any issues or have any questions, please comment below.My host is Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (yes, out of date, I'll get around to updating eventually) my guest is Windows XP Pro 32-bit (can't update this one - we build software for XP).
