I am trying to connect a laptop runnig XP with a desktop
running 98 using direct cable connection through LPT1
port. The 98 machine is the host and the XP machine is
guest. I can make the connection, but the XP machine
cannot find/see the C drive (or anything) on the 98 host
machine. What am I missing?
