re: Connecting, using a parallel cable, win98 and winxp Sunday, December 29, 2002 at 4:45 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Daniel Perez (1 messages posted) Hi Ben and others, I have followed directions EXACTLY from http://www.lpt.com/Support/DCC-SetUp/dcc-setup.htm on how to connect my laptop that uses Windows XP as a guest to my HP home computer that uses Windows 98 as a host. (This is PART IV of their directions.) Is there something that these instructions are not telling that keeps me from successful connection? I am using a parallel cable designed to connect two computers to exchange 2-way data. I activate my HOST (win98) to listen and my GUEST (win XP) to connect. My host shows "is guest computer on?" and my guest computer says that the host is not responding. I want to transfer files from my HOST to my GUEST because my HOST doesn't have a CD burner. I would be so grateful if you or anyone would go the web page URL above and see if there is a detail in one of the settings that I should tweak. Thanks so much.
