Peer-to-peer connections
Peer-to-peer connections enable Norton Ghost to run on two machines and
transfer drives and partitions, and to use image files between them.
Peer-to-peer parallel port connections
Connect both computers through the LPT port with a parallel data transfer
cable. Norton Ghost must be running under DOS on both computers. The
parallel port must be set to bidirectional, or EPP, or ECP, but not
unidirectional. You may need to experiment with the mode for best
performance.
Select which computer is the master (the machine from which you control
the connection), and which is the slave (the other machine participating in
the connection). All operator input will be on the master computer. Use the
previous table to choose which machine will be the master and which will
be slave.
Peer-to-peer NetBIOS network connections
NetBIOS is only available for peer-to-peer connections. Sample third-party
files are available on the Symantec FTP site at:
