Direct cable connection (parallel)
I have tried every possible combination described in MS help, and I cannot
establish a direct cable connection (parallel on LPT1) between my desktop and laptop. I finally managed to connect between two laptops, but using exactly the same setup between the laptop and desktop, I would get to the point where it tried to verify the username and password, and then either rejected it or timed out. All three computers are Dells, using WinXP Home. Thanks for any help.
