Connecting by cable
When you connect two computers by LapLink cable, attach the cable—serial, parallel, or USB - to
both computers and start LapLink on both computers. No separate cable driver installation is required.
Autoconnect, the default setting for cable connections, opens a connection automatically. To manually
connect, click the Connect Over button on the LinkBar, and then click Cable.

has two connectors at one
end, but only one connector is

to each computer.
