Alright...I'll tell you what I'm trying to do...

I'm trying to network two computers over a laplink
(parallel) line...apparently "PLIP.COM" from crynwr is
able to do this.

I'd first like to test if the network is even working
in the first place...

I don't understand the addressing: "00:00:00:00:00:00"
--- should both my computers have a different value
for this?  What the heck is it exactly?  If it's card
related...it must just be in there for compatibility
if I'm simply using a null-modem cable, basically?

Anyway...once PLIP.COM is installed on both
systems...how would I test that it's working?

I also aim to dial up to the internet (using 0x60 as a
vector, and the PLIP network using 0x7E)

Then I install "Internet Extender" which is meant to
allow me to use the system I dialed in with
essentially as a server...the system that is networked
to it accesses the net through this app...

Anyway, internet extender's INI file expects IP
addresses as my network...like the computer i dial in
as is 10.1.1.2 - and the system wanting to connect to
it to get to the internet as 10.1.1.1 - but I don't
know how to assign these IPs to them...since the only
addresses I seemed to be able to configure with PLIP
was the "00:00:00:00:00:00" etc.

Can anyone clear any of this up for me?
Thanks
