I am trying to connect my laptop with my desktop with DCC using LPT port- using cable which I have tested thoroughly. Both systems are running windows98. It just does not detect connections, can any one help me ?
 
Hi,

Do you have the correct cable ?. Have you used the DCC wizard ?.

If yes to the above then check that both computers have their LPT ports setup correctly in the BIOS.

If they are setup correctly (ECP,EPP etc)then is your software correct (laplink, DCC etc)

In any event check out

If still problems, try individual loopback check on each LPT port with something like CHECKIT. This will verify your ports are ok.
