I'm trying to copy files by direct cable connection.
Connected by a parallel cable are my laptop and my
desktop PC. Both running Windows XP pro. The network
shows they are connected as guest and host with a
transfer rate of 4Mb/s.

How do I bring up the host on the guest's screen? What am
I doing wrong?
