PLIP configuration

[mcmi0037@tc.umn.edu]

I am looking to use PLIP to network 2 machines together.
I'm running kernel 2.2.14, and have the PLIP module available, along with the
other obvious modules like TCP/IP, firewalling, etc.

However, upon modprobe plip, i get the error:
/lib/modules/2.2.14/net/plip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

lsmod shows:
Module                  Size  Used by
parport_probe           3140   0  (autoclean)

smbfs                  25424   0  (unused)

I don't have an lp module installed (or IRQ taken up) so I don't know what the
problem could be. Any ideas?
