Ok, So in order to close this thread - I have tried times again to solve my problem - resoldered the cables, changed the rs232 port, checked the chip that is doing the rs232 - usb conversion, used a multimeter - everything seems to be fine and to check out, however I can't connect to the goflex home through putty or hyperterminal.
