I am having troubles with doing a direct connect (parallel cable) from my 2K desktop to my ME laptop. I have read some things about the pins having to be in a certain configuration so I pulled out an old multitester and found out that all the pins were connected to their counterparts (1>1, 2>2, 3>3...24>24) Could that be a reason neither computer recognizes the other? If so, how do I find the right cable?
