[WinMac] How can I "reset" ports, printer, ethernet etc.

Dear WinMac Wizards,

     I am still stuck with a problem. I would like to be able to "take
control" of my ports! I find it very frustrating to have to reboot when
the printer port "is in use" just to re-open or close the port. For
[WinMac] though in particular, I'm connected with a cross-over cable to
my husband's PC and my 100 Pentium card (I have a 7200/120 PC Compatible
with OS 8.0 and Windows 95.) We can connect just fine in Windows but if
I have to reboot the windows side, I can't reconnect with his PC unless I
reboot the Mac too. I would love to not have to waste so much time. To
transfer files to the PC Drive I have to have the PC shut down - if I
then restart the PC, my ethernet connection is broken.

     I really, really hope someone can assist me. I had posted to the
MacL list but received only one response - maybe they don't understand
the question? Or perhaps it's more suited to this group.

     Eagerly awaiting your replies,

          Rosemary
