You could not have described better, what I have been going through the past two
days. I have made this connection successfully from a win95 laptop (guest) to a win
98 (host) machine many times in the past. My XP laptop connection is not working.
The only thing I have found to explain this is a comment in XPHELP that states that
the parallel cable connection works with Win 2000 and XP. It doesn't say win98 will
not work but does not inclued it in the comment.
