I am able to connect two computer ( Windows 98 SE and Windows XP Professional ) using direct Parallel. Computer with Windows 98 SE is setup as host and Computer with Windows XP Pro is setup as Guest.

However Guest is not able to locate any computer on the Host or I am not able to map and drive on the host.

What I need to do to access and drive on the host computer?

You will need to set up an user account on the Win2000 machine. The user id should be the computer name. Then you can assign the necessary permissions. If you have already done this, then uninstall and reinstall the networking components that you are using (adapter, client and protocol). Hope this helps. Good luck
