Connectivity problem with Belkin Easy Transfer Cable with XP and Vista. Presumably, software is installed on both machines (installed F5U258 driver on the XP machine, and was pre-installed on the Vista machine). Tried work around using network connection, but seems to lose connection there also. Tried using the Belkin cable connection several times, but never could establish a connection.

Ok so im a little confused.. You have windows 8, windows 7 and xp on your computer??

Did you install the xp os correctly?

Go to Belkin's website and download the software.

What exactrly do you mean? Is this a problem pertaining to the Belkin Easy-Transfer Cable for Windows XP and Windows Vista?

One of the most common problems is the computer's operating system not recognizing the cable's drivers. This is most common with non-English operating systems. The quickest solution is to download the most recent driver.
If the Easy Transfer Cable isn't working properly, you can try a few things to fix the problem. Make sure that you have installed the Easy Transfer Cable drivers on your old computer with the CD that is included in the cable package. If you did not do this, close Windows Easy Transfer, insert the CD that came with the Easy Transfer Cable into your old computer, and then follow the instructions on the screen. When this is complete, begin the transfer process again.
USB ports might be another cause of the problem. When Windows Easy Transfer asks you to connect your computers with the Easy Transfer Cable, try plugging the cable into other USB ports on your computers.
A more complex problem involves the F5U409 USB PDA Adapter (The USB/Serial Portable Adapter) not installing properly. If the driver is unzipping, but the unit is not working, you need to manually update the drivers. They should all unzip to a file called F5U109 in the C: drive of your computer. Point to this file through the Device Manager to update.

Hope it helps.

Unfortunately, Windows Easy Transfer is not supported on Windows 2000. So I would suggest you to return this cable back and use the manual method of transfer of data from one computer to another. Thanks. Abhishek

This may not be a direct solution, but will help you identify the problem.

I hope this helps.

Go to Belkin's support site here: http://catalog.belkin.com/support/?lid=en, then navigate to the cable that you have and download the drivers to your hard drive. Then when the found hardware wizard comes up next you can select to install the driver from a location you'll choose (point it to wherever you downloaded them to on your hard drive). XP SP2 should have picked it up, but if your running Vista you may need Vista specific driver (should be at the Belkin support site linked above).
Good luck.
