Do you have a floppy drive installed in your machine ?

FSW, uses floppy disk to run the program on the other computer from where
you want to retreive the settings

Thanks for getting back to me - sorry to be so long replying. In the meantime
I installled a portable 3" floppy drive USB and copied the File transfer
wizard on to a disk. Then inserted the disk in the old computer,
successfully installed the File Transfer Wizard, went through various steps
and got to the stage where the two computers were trying to find each other -
just continuously searching but never found each other. Any ideas please
Thank you

How are you trying to connect the two machines?

By cable with a plug slightly bigger than a telephone jack plug with a little
white box joining the two cables. I don't know what the little white box is ?

Use a so calles cross cable for ethernet and get rid of the box. If you just
want to connect 2 computers there is no necesaary for a box whatever it is.

Cross cables usually have RED plugs on both ends.

The cross cable has the internal wired connected in a way you don't need a
hub or router or youre magic white box.

Directly connect the two computers together with the cross cable.

Remember this is just the start for networking between two computers.

You must have ethernet cards installed with their drivers.
You must set STATIC IP adresses for both computers.
You must set a subnet mask.

And then start to test youre connection and networking.

This is in short.

Start with the cross cable for ethernet, you can get it in any computer shop.



Watch out for using ISDN stuff. The connectors are the same but internal
wiring is totally different.
