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!
