Hi, Would someone be kind enough to talk me through a direct cable connection between two home computers? They are sitting on the same desk... I want to share files. I did it before with a serial cable connecting both computers (too long ago to remember how I did it), this time I am using a parallel cable. I found it frustrating before and can't remember how I did it with Win 95. I do remember I had trouble with the protocol or language- whatever has to be the same on each computer to allow one to "hear" the other. I'm finding the little documentation I have does not go deeply enough into the network connection software configuration. One computer is running regular Win 98, one Win 98 second edition. Physically they are connected by a parallel cable. How do I configure the network software? Thanks, Mary Curious about the people moderating your messages?
