Stuip-HELP

Hi,
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum. I am really
ignorant when it comes to networking or direct accessing
another pc. I am pretty good at the rest of pc
funcunallity thousg. Here is my situation. For days now I
have been trying to move my old files from my old pc
(windows 98) to my new pc (windows xp) by way of a direct
connection through the parallel ports. I have tried the
built in "file transfer function" (xp), on my new pc, I
have tried "pc-anyware", I've tried creating new
connections and still the pc's won't communicate. I'm sure
I'm doind somthing wrong I just don't know what. Could it
the parallel cord?. I am very frustrated. My coworker gave
me the "pc-anyware" and the cable and said it could be
done that way but it is trick. Boy was he right. I've been
on the web looking for instructions but it has to be me
that's not doing it correctly. I have a feeling it's easy
to the person who nows this stuff, but I am at a complete
loss inthis area. If it's not to much trouble, would
someone guide me or make a suggestion for for myself, the
novice?

Greatfully,
Stupid
