Is the problem with the HDMI to DisplayPort Cables that I am using, the Dock itself or are the monitors too old? Any help would be greatly apreciaited.

Hello,

The HDMI to DP conversion is working only in one way not the other.
So you basically connect the HDMI to your monitor and you get DP on the other end and you will plug that do the docking station. But it will not work the other way.
So if you connect the same cable to the HDMI on docking station and The DP on monitor it will not work.

Hope this will answer your question cause this is important.
Thats probably why its not working.
