I have a virtual serial port set up on my COM2 port. I am trying to run a
program on cygwin which will require the use of this serial port on COM2. I
was wondering how I could connect to the COM port using cygwin?

See
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-posixdevices>.
You probably want /dev/ttyS1 for COM2.

Im sorry but Im a complete novice at this. I cd-ed into the /dev folder. But
I could not find a ttyS1. If you could elaborate what exactly I must do, it
would be helpful. Thank you.

Read the page I have linked: "These devices cannot be seen with the command
ls /dev/ although commands such as ls /dev/tty work fine."

When I typed ls /dev/tty, I did not get any response. Any other possible
solutions

The command ls /dev/tty works for me:
$ ls -l /dev/tty
crw--w---- 1 jeremyb Domain Users 5, 0 Mar 17 08:43 /dev/tty
Even if the path you attempted to use didn't exist, you should have got
/some/ response:
$ ls /dev/nonexistent
ls: cannot access /dev/nonexistent: No such file or directory
Can you provide more details about what exactly happened when you tried
to run your command?
-Jeremy
