I have the laplink parallel cable already. Here it is in a nutshell. [ On your FreeBSD desktop box ] # ifconfig lp0 10.5.5.1 10.5.5.2 [ On your FreeBSD laptop ] # ifconfig lp0 10.5.5.2 10.5.5.1 # ping 10.5.5.1 .... Voila, you're networked. Now, if you're desktop is on a network and you want to be able to access it, you'll have to worry about routing and such, but those are more 'generic' problems are are unrelated to the laplink setup. See the handbook for routing information. Nate
