Hi,

	Apart from the "laplink" cable that you need. have a look
at the man page for the plip driver, man plip.  You can either
use /stand/sysinstall to configure the lp0 interface or do it manually.

on the desktop, 
	ifconfig lp0 desktop_ip laptop_ip
and on the laptop,
	ifconfig lp0 laptop_ip desktop_ip

I'm not sure if you have to add any routes or if it is done
dynamically.

HTH

Regards
Willem Brown
