parnet question

[AAACHIPSET]

i have pc network  setup between laptop an 1200 ..it works  ..i want to network my 2 1200s ..ive installed parbench  ..client host  etc  ..run the program ..no errors  just sits waiting for connection on both machines ..the cable  works  for the amiga/pc  parallel  setup  ..any reason it wouldnt work on a a1200  to a1200  setup ?  ..im  getting no errors  .snoopdos reports nothing  ..

I believe the pc to amiga and amiga to amiga are different wiring of the  parallel cable.

yes it was the cable..just found  my old  parnet cable  from my a500  a570cdrom days  ..worked first time on my 1200 ..only  shows  one drive on each machine  ..guess i gota  setup the cdtv  version  to use the cdrom ..
thanks again ..

doesnt see any other drive  but dh0...how i alter that ..cdtv doesnt  work ..wanted to upgrade the 2nd 1200 to amigasys4aga ..that just crashes ..cant  get os3.5  to install
fails after the preinstall ..this machine  only  seems to like a basic 3.1  install  ..no cdrom attached  dont have  a  ide adaptor  for it...an a 8 meg ram expansion  with a faster 020 ..thats why using parnet ...an i miss the  indivision aga  on my main machine  ..so different  ..crap in comparison..
