So, I don't know what the deal is.
Have you ever sucessfully uploaded to the laptop from the remote? I ask because sometimes the power needed for those USB to Serial converters overloads what some laptops' USB ports can provide. A short test signal outbound might be ok, but a sustained communication the other direction might be too much. Of course, if it's a separately powered converter or it worked before, never mind.
