Be warned: not every parallel port is capable of full bi-directional communication. In order for PLIP to work, both of the ports need to be fully functional. So cross your fingers -- here we go: Activate PLIP on both computers with ----------------- plip 0x60 7 0x378 ----------------- The above values are for the normal printer port. Chage the IRQ (7) and address (0x378) if you are using a different port. Use netcust (or similar) to assign 192.168.1.1 to one interface and 192.168.1.2 to the other. Use ping (or similar) to test the link. Readers may be interest to know that Linux PLIP is compatible. So you can use PLIP to network a DOS computer to a Linux one. I have successfully used PLIP to telnet from a DOS machine to a Linux machine and to mount a DOS NFS on a Linux partition. Cheers, Steven
