LPT port connection

I'm trying to proram the BS1 on a laptop that doesn't have a serial port, and so far I've been unsuccessful.
Right now I just have the BS1 connected directly to the parallel port and I'm using the DOS version. It just tells me the hardware is disconnected. I've got power connected to the stamp. I put LEDs from PC0 and PC1 to gnd, but I get no activity when I try to run the program. I have a Toshiba with Win XP. I've tried searching through the archives, but I havent found anything that helps much. Any ideas?

Now I get an error message that says "EEPROM verification failed." I tried disconnecting/reconnecting the power, but it didnt make a difference. I'll take any more suggestions, but thanks for you help.
