Frequently asked questions
Why can't I establish a connection between two VAIO computers?
Your computer may not recognize an i.LINK1 connection if the i.LINK cable is not plugged securely into the i.LINK
ports. Disconnect the i.LINK cable and securely reconnect it to both computers. If neither computer responds after a
few moments, restart both computers.
If the computers do not recognize the i.LINK connection after resuming from a power saving mode (Standby or
Hibernate), restart both computers. For more information, see Connecting VAIO computers.
