I want to connect my laptop to a workstation via a parallel cable on LPT1.

The laptop runs Win XP (what an improvement on 95 and 98!!) and the
workstation Win 95. The workstation is attached to a network running Netware
3.12 on coaxial BNC connections.

I can achieve a link - the icon displays in the system tray and a double
click shows a working connection. (Laptop is guest).

But I cannot see the HDD of the Host in Explorer. It is set to share, no
passwords set.

What have I missed?

TIA.
