Please note that WATTCP is _NOT_ a permanently loaded TCP/IP stack in the same sense as it might be familiar from operating systems like LINUX or WINDOWS. It's rather a library that is linked directly into each application using WATTCP. As a consequence of this no TCP/IP functionality is available while no such program is running. Therefore ping cannot work in the set-up you described. Start on one of the computers a program that uses the WATTCP library and that doesn't terminate immediately. This might be either a server program or a client that waits for some user input. Then ping that computer from the other one and you should get a response. In any case you would need a server (e.g. an FTP server) on one computer and a corresponding client program on the other one to transfer files. If it's just a simple file transfer, then a NETCAT program (which can be used in server _or_ client role) will do. Mike Brutman has such a program in his collection and i wrote a similar one, which i called NTOOL. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/. Which one you eventually prefer will be a matter of personal taste. ___ Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief!

Yes that was kind of stupid. I forgot that. Thanks! I am able now to get a FTP connection over crossover cable with the resident ftp-server of Datalight sockets and also with the EZ-NOS ftp-server.

Mike Brutmans nc program also transfered a testfile without problem. The documentations of both programs come with easy examples how to transfer files. Until now I accomplished file transfers between freedos boxes over crossover cable by - FTP (server: EZNOS2, Datalight sockets, ftpsrv32 from the WATT32 package) - Netcat (ntool, nc) - IPXCOPY (which I found interesting to discover...) - MS Client (with netbeui protocol) I also experimented with Kermit but didn't get it to work so far...

It didn't work, sorry. I am still trying to find out why not. If someone else would like to help: Both laptops have a network card and an appropriate packet driver loaded.

The crossover cable connection works without a problem if I boot Debian Linux on both of the laptops. Does anyone has an idea? In the meantime, it might be a lot easier to use a parallel cable that you can plug into the printer ports (LPT) of your computers. The cable is also called a parallel Laplink cable. Then you can use a free DOS software like Filemaven http://www.briggsoft.com/fmdos.htm to view, copy, delete or move files between both computers. Of course this is only possible, if both your computers still have printer ports. Uli -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
