Ron,

Which Com port is selected when you connect with K3Utility?  You should 
be able to use the same one with NaP3.
If the port is not detected by NaP3, I would suspect a com port driver 
problem rather than NaP3 - it can only report what it receives from the 
computer.  If it does not receive the expected response when polling for 
available ports, NaP3 will assume that the port is either not there or 
is not working properly.
