networking two machines
I'm tring to network two machines that consist of Windows
XP and 2000 using a PC to PC parallel file tranfer cable. When I try to use the Direct Cable Connection Wizard, but I'm struggling with this and need some help. What do I need to do? Do I need static ip addresses? |

networking two machines
Hello Ben,
Assigning an IP is not a requirement when setting up a Direct Cable Connection between these two platforms, as APIPA will make sure that an IP address is assigned when DHCP is not present (DHCP won't be present in this case). Can you clarify regarding the problem that you are having? You should set up one machine as host and the other as guest, and then dial from the guest to the host. Is the problem in setting the connection up, or in actually connecting? Thanks, Terry Barcroft [MSFT] When replying, please post to GROUP so that everyone can benefit from the knowledge.

What do you mean dial from the Guest to the Host? Is this
supposed to be a dialup connection. Basically, what I'm tring to do is tranfer files between two pc's before this weekend as I'm leaving for town. Do you know of any helpful links and tutorials for something I'm tring to do? -----Original Message----- Hello Ben, Assigning an IP is not a requirement when setting up a Direct Cable Connection between these two platforms, as APIPA will make sure that an IP address is assigned when DHCP is not present (DHCP won't be present in this case).
