Hello All, I have a problem using the parallel port on WIN XP and LV 8.2. I connected 2 PCs using the parallel port, ands tried to write and read in LV with VISA read/ VISA write on LPT1. But there is always a timeout on both computers. Even in MAX there is no way to test the connection. Do I have to change some settings in the bios, or in WIN? NEED HELP Thanks Thomas
