Default Direct Cable Connection

I'm attempting to transfer some files from one PC to another one.

I tried a LapLink cable and connected the LPT1 ports and set up the software
in Accessories/Communications,, etc.
The "Guest" computer gave me an error message that the LPT1 port was not
connected.

I tried another cable (different from the LapLink cable above) and tried the
COM1 ports. Got the same message from the Guest computer. Tried the COM2
ports. Got the same message.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Doug
