I know it is supposed to be possible to run two MicPort Pros simultaneously on one computer, but I can't seem to get my second one to connect. I think I did get it to work one time, just as a test, but then removed the second one and haven't been able to make it work again. I'm running Windows 7 and when I plug MPP #2 into a USB port, the computer sees it and tries to install software (which it really doesn't need to do because the Centrance universal driver that's already installed for MPP #1 is supposed to handle both units), but comes up with an error code 10 in Device Manager. According to the Centrance website, that error likely indicates a problem supplying proper voltage to the unit due to being plugged into an unpowered USB hub. But the hub I'm plugging it into is powered. And I get the same error, even when I plug the MPP directly into a USB port on the computer itself. Any suggestions?

Not sure if this is barking up the wrong tree, but it's the first thing that popped into mind.

Try plugging one into the hub and one into an on computer USB port.

Your hub may be USB 1 and/or the port you may be plugging in to may be non-powered. This is easily remedied by plugging into a different port.

Hope this works for you!

Frank, you're a genius! It did work. I'm surprised that it didn't work when plugged into the USB slot on the computer, immediately adjacent to the one in which the other MPP is plugged. I assumed all the ones on the box itself are powered. Apparently, I assumed incorrectly.

That was through a powered USB 2.0 hub. Now I need to try to get it to work through a powered USB 1.1 hub that is connected to the computer through 100 feet of CAT6 cable via a Gefen Extender. I'm not holding out great hope.

You do try to make it interesting for me don't you?

All computer PC board USB have both powered and non-powered ports. Even if you plug a powered usb hub into a non powered port the on-board USB controller sees only a non-powered I/O device.

But, please remember - I know nothing (Sgt. Shultz). There are those who know much more than I about 'puters.
