I am trying to connect my laptop to my desktop with a
serial cable. I connected the cables and then ran the
setup to link both computers using the setup in XP on both
computers. I setup one computer as Guest and one as Host.
The Guest computer calls the Host computer but it does
connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try posting in the correct newsgroup:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
