I hope this question hasn't already been asked and I just can't find it. I connected an IBM Aptiva running Win 98 as host to a new Dell Dimension 3000 running Win XP as guest via a direct parallel cable. The connection is there, but I can't access data on the IBM. When I do a run \\ibm (the computer name) I get "The specified network name is no longer available." When I click on drive z (mapped to ibm\c) in Windows Explorer I get "The local device name is already in use." Trying to get help from Dell and Microsoft has been impossible. I'm trying to get my 83 year old mom's data off her old computer onto her new Dell. I sure hope someone has a simple fix.
