Serial ports can be pretty opaque.
Do you know if both serial ports were enabled in your BIOS? Can you find out
if the relevant ports appear enabled in the system logs?
Do you have any hardware diagnostic tools? i.e. one of those LED-based serial
port monitors?
Do you have flow control (RTS/CTS) disabled?
HTH...
