I have 2 computers connected on a wireless LAN. I would like to share the COM port of one computer (server) with the second (mobile). The server has an application that needs to monitor the local COM as well as share it with the mobile. The mobile needs to aggregate the server COM with its own local COM. Data only passes from the server to the mobile, never any replies. However, the mobile is sometimes not on the LAN - when it is not, it needs to continue to receive data from its local COM. When it returns to the LAN, it needs to reconnect to the server COM without user intervention. I would prefer the server not retry any messages received while the mobile is not on the LAN. This project seems perfect for this application - any assistance in setting the configuration is much appreciated. Thanks.
