I have been trying to setup a parallel network between a Windows XP
machine and a computer running DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 and have made
absolutly no progress does anyone out there have any idea on how to
make this work.
 
Oh boy, that takes me back... Those were the days.

I don't think this would be easy. Depending on circumstances, a better
approach might be to put in LAN cards, and use Win3.1's networking capability
with a crossover LAN cable. This uses IPX by default, although a TCP/IP
stack is available. Thus you could either add IPX to the XP machine's network
setttings, or else install the TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.1 You should then
be able to connect to a shared folder on the XP computer.
