I'v read ALOT of posts on network activity and so forth, and i dont know if im missing something or not. I have very little experience with windows 3.11, I just remember using it back when i was like ... 10? 11? 12? I'm 20 now, and I just decided this would be fun, instead its been very challengeing. I would like to make some connection to the outside world with windows 3.11. From what I'v read so far, this is going to be through parallel port communication with the host machine of some form. I cant find in windows 3.11 anything about a parallel link, further more I cant get my printer to work because it finds no LPT1. My printer happened to have win 3.1 drivers, they installed great. Also there is Samba for windows 3.x

Could anyone help me getting that to work?
