You have a Win 2k Pro client with a direct serial or parallel connection to the server? &nbsp;Does this client have a network plug? &nbsp;Any reason you are not using the network to do this?<br />

Ok here is the problem. &nbsp; I setup win2k advanced server to accept incoming serial connections and the win2k pro client to connect to the server. &nbsp; &nbsp;The client connects at a 4 MBPS speed. &nbsp;Now that it is connected I am not sure what to do. &nbsp; I go to network neighborhood and it does not see any other computers. &nbsp;I have them connected via the LPT1. &nbsp; I have folders shared on the server because I can map them via ethernet via other clients.<br />

HELP!<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Serial Connection Problem.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
