Hello,

I hope this is the right NG for this question:

I need to xfer the files from my win98 system to the new
xpPro one. I have a parallel file xfer cable that I know
works however win 98 & XP can't seem to talk to each
other.

I setup the win98 system as host on direct cable
xfer/parallel option and on xp system ran new connection
wiz to specify the same but when the xp connection is
selected XP verifies login/pwd for some reason then waits
awhile and then says the remote is not responding.

I have read MS Help info that says that I must
have "Client for Microsoft Networks protocol and the File
and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks protocol
installed on both computers". The problem is I have been
unable to find the above for win98 anywhere.

Does anyone know a different work-around to get my
systems connected or how to find the software? There is
no network card in the win98 system.

Thanx in advance,

Larry

PS: I have already tried LapLink's online version and
FileVan but they can't do what I want.
