re: Connecting, using a parallel cable, win98 and winxp Friday, March 21, 2003 at 9:03 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by tired of you (1 messages posted) he/she isnt talking about "laplink" "laplink" is a brand name like saying he didnt get shoes he got nikes. i am also having problems connecting my laptop win98 to my desktop XP Pro, using a PARALLEL cable, the one that plugs into the PARALLEL port, does anyone know how to fix this problem? or is it even possible to connect the two, i figured it might not be since win98 uses FAT32 file system and win2000+ uses NTFS which arent compatable but i figured the xp machine should still be able to connect and retrieve data from the win98 host. ive tried serial cables and now have tried using the parallel, ive downloaded heaps of connection software none of which work and am now out of ideas any help?
