Serial cable connections: lower the speed of a serial 
port
In Port Setup (Options menu), click the COM port to which 
the cable is attached. Click Configure. In the Port Speed box, 
click 57600. Repeat this procedure on the other computer. If 
you still can’t connect, repeat the procedure, lowering the 
speed one step at a time until you can connect.
Restart the computer
If all else fails, remove the cable from both computers, and 
restart the computers. Reattach the cable, and try the con-
nection again.
Improving parallel cable performance in Windows 95 
and Windows 98
There are three drivers you can use in LapLink for parallel 
ports: the LapLink Enhanced driver (the default), the LapLink 
Standard driver, and a Windows driver. The LapLink En-
hanced driver is preferable when you alternate between par-
allel communications and other types of communications: 
you can leave the parallel port enabled without experiencing 
any degradation of performance. The Windows driver, on 
the other hand, generally provides better performance for 
parallel connections; use the Windows driver if you intend to 
use parallel connections exclusively. If you then want to 
switch to modem or some other type of communication, be 
sure to disable the parallel port beforehand.
NOTE For maximum performance from an ECP port, use 
the Windows driver for the parallel port to which the cable 
is attached.
To change the parallel port driver, click Port Setup (Options 
menu) and then click the appropriate LPT port. Ensure that 
the Enable Port box is checked. Click Configure and then 
click one of these options: Use the Windows Driver, Use the 
LapLink Enhanced Driver, or Use the LapLink Standard 
Driver.
