Tina,
One of the easiest ways to use a null modem cable is to use a program like
LapLink. You may even be able to get a trial copy of their software from their
site.

I am not sure if the new version allows you to connect two pc's with a Null
Modem cable, but I would have thought it would ,as they always make software
that is backwards compliant, well they used too. It may be worth a look and
try.
Hope that helps

So many ways to approach this...
If you have a burner, maybe you can connect the burner to the ME computer and
put everything on CD?!?!?! If you don't have a burner, you can pick them up so
cheaply nowadays, and they can always come to good use.
Otherwise, maybe picking up a cheap 2-port hub?

I hope someone can help me. I have an old computer running ME and want to
transfer some files, programs and such to the new computer running XP.
I purchased a null modem cable and cannot get either computer to "see" a
connection.The older computer, set as host, keeps asking me if the new
computer, set as guest, is turned on! lol The new computer isn't saying
anything, just keeps looking.
I tried setting up a direct link and then tired using the file and settings
transfer wizard under XP, but neither way is working.
If anyone knows how to do this, please email me and let me know.
By the way, both do have USB ports and someone suggested going that route or
going with a parrallel port cable. I know even less about these options!
Thanks,
Tina
