I'm trying to setup a temporary connection between my old 98 laptop to my XP machine. However, I cannot seem to get a direct parallel connection to work. I am not sure exactly what to configure as its quite complicated I belive.
Start->Settings->Network and Dialup connections->New Connection
One computer:
Next->Connect directly to another computer->Host->Choose port
Other computer:
Next->Connect directly to another computer->Guest->Choose port
The connection will be extremely slow though... The fastest speed I was ever able to have a nullmodemcable connection was 19,2kbs (the maximum speed serial port allows is 115kbs)
