Hi all...
I'm trying to hook my newly-acquired Win2k laptop to a win9x desktop via parallel cable (no spare cash for a laptop network card) by setting the laptop to accept incoming connections.

When I try to set up Accept incoming connections, I get an error stating that the Routing and Remote Access service was unable to start. The system event log mentions Service-specific error 505. This service is dependent on RPC (which is running) and NetBIOS Group (which doesn't appear in the services listing).

Being a Win2k newbie, I'm absolutely clueless. Can anyone please help? :confused:

I tried installing Service Pack 1, but it didn't help...
Anyone got any clues? :confused:
I'd really appreciate some help... I can't copy anything to my laptop now :frown:
