Hi Garrison, I spent the last two hours trying to connect two laptops with freedos with a cross over cable. It didn't work, sorry. I am still trying to find out why not. If someone else would like to help: Both laptops have a network card and an appropriate packet driver loaded. The LEDs on the network cards were on, so they found a network. wattcp.cfg was configured to the IP adresses 192.168.0.1 (laptop 1) and 192.168.0.2 (laptop 2). But pinging the other laptop didn't work - wattcp ping complained: "Cannot resolve host's hardware address". Also the ping programs from mTCP and Datalight sockets didn't work. The crossover cable connection works without a problem if I boot Debian Linux on both of the laptops. Does anyone has an idea? In the meantime, it might be a lot easier to use a parallel cable that you can plug into the printer ports (LPT) of your computers. The cable is also called a "parallel Laplink cable". Then you can use a free DOS software like Filemaven <http://www.briggsoft.com/fmdos.htm> to view, copy, delete or move files between both computers. Of course this is only possible, if both your computers still have printer ports.
