I've just got a laptop and tried to set it up for DCC with my desktop. I am
able to connect the two computers via the LPT1 ports, the username and
passwords are verified, and the guest (laptop) says "Looking for shared
files." It then says it can't find any (although I've enabled it on the
host) and asks me to enter the host's name. I do this and it then says
"Cannot find the host computer".

What am I doing wrong?
