Geoffrey asked wistfully...

|| 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?

Do a google search for helmig or wown, cable connection is too far beneath
anyone here.
