I tried it using both systems as server and as client, but i can't get it to work.
I think i'm missing something imporant. Description: I need to get some files out
of a broke down 100mhz running win98 first edition, fully updated. I need to get
those files into a laptop running winxp home. Only way to connect them (as i saw
it) was through the lpt1 plug. But there always seems to be a bit of incompatibility.
When using the 100mhz as the client, i used direct cable connection and set up a
host net connection on windows xp. When using the laptop as a the client i did exactly
the same except for seting the connection as client. I also tried using the net configuration
assistant from winxp that tried to configure win98 on it's own (i had to pass it
via a disc). I also tried it using two programs, fastlynx, and paraben's pc linker
but they all seem not to connect. note: I don´t think the cable is mal functioning
broken. Anyone's done this before? I really need the detailed know-how. Thanks in
advanced
