Don't worry, your computer is fine, you just have it confused. Read your help
file - check and see what directories can be ACTUALLY SHARED via direct
connection. (Yes, the sharing selection is vital, but maybe not the only thing
needed. I seem to vaguely remember not all could be shared. YMMV

It's timing out because the settings are incorrect. It is waiting for the host
to acknowledge it's query.

You may find it much easier to work with direct cabling from the serial ports of
both computers. I did.

You can't now upload data to the net because the settings have been changed, and
it's trying (unsuccessfully) to send the data to the wrong port/(and or),
address/interrupt.

Good luck,

Dave
