Are you using the correct cable/cables and if you are using a USB adapter in conjunction with a null modem cable. Have you loaded the driver?

Have you still got the link? Hard to differentiate between the two visually, but you can do a continuity test with a multimeter to verify pinouts.

Link says its a Null Modem cable so hopefully it is. What versions of GTromloader loader and firmware are you trying to use?
