I would make sure that the settings are correct. ( 9600 n 8 1 )Have you tried accessing the router through the Aux port?
Dumb question, however it needs to ask. Are you using the cisco blue cable with there 9pin adapter to connect from the router to the pc. Just a few options here, I know theres more, buts lets look at the obvious first. #-) Jeter@LasVegas.com The best answer I could ever give is the one to maintain my Sanity

Ahh... the cables come in a few different colors. I have blue and black myself The cable you want when looking from the top of the RJ45, will be "rolled". Use the DB9 or the DB25 connector marked *terminal*

This does not apply to the older(early) 1900 switches. They need a straight cable with modem ends. They have a DB9 on the 1900 unlike the newer ones that use a RJ45 socket.
