Thanks for the replies. I am glad that you agree that both computers seem to show that the arduino is connected correctly and the same. I read some more on the arduino last night and found out that they have a neat application within the arduino IDE package. Its called Serial Monitor. That app along with the proper sketch will allow someone to check and see if serial communications are going on between the computer and the arduino board. I used the monitor last night and things appear to be working correctly. So tonight I think I will purge the moonlite drivers from the Dell computer and start all over again. If that does not work I will purge the complete setup including KSTARS and INDI/EKOS and start all over again. Maybe somewhere during all the downloads and install some part of the software was corrupted. Hopefully that will work. But if not I think I will take the easy way out and simply use the computer that works and try to find a solution later.

Thanks for your help
