Message: [QUOTE="Hogwylde, post: 436945, member: 24357"] I originally wanted to try that. Problem is, I'm a restricted user on my work laptop and the serial port isn't availble. (guess the administrator, my boss, has this feature locked out). Parallel port is only one available for direct connection. I tried a standard 25 pin parallel cable, then a null modem adapter for it. Still no luck. I'm afraid to try an ethernet connection, even though both have connections. Home puter has an ethernet cable into a cable modem and laptop has standard connection to hook to work network. I'd hate to screw up setting and not be able to get them to work right when not hooked together. The whole reason for doing this is because since i'm a restricted user, I can't install any software on the laptop. I'm hoping I can just transfer the files from one computer to another and avoid the installation routine that's blocked on the laptop. [/QUOTE]
