BS2 not found error

I've searched the forums and haven't been able to find an answer to my problem so I though I'd post here before I call tech support. The problem is that when I connect the BOE with the BS2 via the COM port to my desktop I find that the stamp isn't found. The identify pop-up box says that both Loopback and Echo are "Yes." I've already disabled the FIFO buffers and that didn't help. I'm running Windows XP Pro and do not have any Palm or PDA software installed. The power supplies I have tried are the 4 AA battery pack and a 9 volt battery. The green led lights up when I turn the power on for both. Also, the BS2 is installed correctly on the BOE. I have also tried to run it on my roommate's desktop (he also runs XP Pro) and I have the same problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You didn’t indicate if you’re using a USB to Serial Adapter. Also, even though you tried two power sources, do you have a way to test the voltage?

Sorry about leaving that out, I'm using only the serial connection to the COM port, no USB-to-serial adapter; I do have a voltmeter somewhere and I'm trying to scrounge it up. Thanks for your help!
