Hi:
I'm trying to remotely control my desktop with my laptop. I have pcanywhere
11 and WinXP on the laptop and Win98 and pcanywhere 10.5 on the desktop.
PCanywhere 11 doesn't do parallel connections so I'm trying a serial connection
and cannot get it to work. When I double click to start the laptop's remote
session the connection window appears briefly and then disappears as if I've
done nothing and when I repeat the process I get a message the port is in use.
I can, however, use the desktop as the remote and control the laptop so I think
the cable I'm using is fine.
Does "Direct Cable Connection" exist in WinXP and can it control a computer
running Win98?
Thanks
