apprently, you've got the wiring set up incorrectly. as far as i know,
data sending and data receiving is not done on the same wire. one is used
for 'send' and one for 'receive'.
find a diagram of how a proper cable should be wired, and compare it with
the cable you've got. most like something there was improperly wired.
