Direct Cable between XPhome parallel ports

[bretsharon]

I was told I could connect thru IPX/SPX directly but not
have much luck.

I am trying to connect directly two computers both using
XP-home thru the parallel ports so I can transfer files
between the two computers.

I was told by that IPX/SPX NWlink would do it, and indeed
I did get the host computer connect to the guest, but the
guest doesn't go the other way.

I beleive I have installed the IPX correctly.

Is there a step by step proceedures some place?

Thanks
