hello,
I am using windows XP SP2 .there is only one PC and one microcontroller connected through RS232 Port so serial port is being used as a network connection. I am unable to know should i use full modem cable ?

Use whatever cable is necessary to make the connection work. Are the microcontroller and the Windows machine successfully communicating over TCP/IP?

and what should be the baud rate and other serial port settings?

The baud rate and other serial port settings should be whatever they need to be to make the connection work.

i am using "adapter for general dial-up and VPN capture"as my interface.
