Get a laplink cable (or called a direct cable connection). Authough very slow it can still transfer data. It connects in the printer port.

What OS are you running on your desktop?

Oh, ok its that old... I dont think those cables run on anything less than windows 95! It just looks like a double sided printer cable (the LPT one)
