36551 2002-02-21 08:18:00 I'm (still) trying to hook up my Win95 laptop to my WinXP Pro desktop over a parallel cable. I couldnt do it with Win95 to WinME, but I thought I might with XP... except DCC manager has disappeared. Whats the equivalent? Or is there a new program? Or a third party program that does the same?

Thanks!

You do this by entering your BIOS and changing the parallel port to either EPP or ECP which both support bi-directional. You'll have to do this for both computers.

I am not sure of DCC in XP as I have never used DCC on it.
