Try using the default port *9871* on both computers, not 2871.  Just press
the [By Default] button in the SETUP screen on both computers.

If you're already using 9871, double check that error message.  Is it 10054
or 10004?

10004 means something that was waiting for network response was cancelled.

Are you connecting the two laptops directly to each other with an Ethernet
Crossover cable (special kind of Ethernet cable) or are they connected to a
common Ethernet router box?

If you open up a Windows command prompt on one computer and try pinging the
other computer, does it work?

Start | Run | cmd.exe
PING 192.168.0.2

If it says "Request timed out", the Windows network is not set up right.  If
it works OK, chances are you have a Firewall program running on one or both
computers that is blocking port 9871.  I will then need to know which
Firewall program you are using.  It's also possible your router is blocking
communications on Port 9871.
