Can't connect to SERIAL PORT using Putty

Question

I want to connect with my serial Port using PuTTY program, but it's not possible, when I ckick "open" nothing happens. I only hear a "Beep, Beep".. under a Windows 7 on MAC OS X with VirtualBox

Answer 1

Had this problem and found the solution. Putty wont open a connection from the "Serial" tab in the left column. Choose "Session" instead and select the checkbox for Serial.
