Prolific PL-25A1 chipset Can also be used in many Linux distributions to create a point-to-point network between two computers Certain antivirus/firewall/security software can block the connection between the two PCs.

If there are multiple versions of transfer software open at once, they can interfere with each other. For example, sometimes Windows will automatically launch the Windows Easy Transfer software when a transfer cable is plugged in, even though the Bravura Easy Computer Sync software will be used for the transfer. Please to make sure that only one transfer program is open on each system. If the drivers for the transfer cable have not been successfully installed on either of the two PCs, a connection between them will not be established. Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 should install the drivers automatically. XP and Vista systems need a driver installed which is included with the Bravura transfer software. If there are any errors with driver installation when plugging in the cable, please write them down exactly as these error messages can be helpful while troubleshooting the issue via email.
