Help with nRF2401A tranceiver and dev board

I have 2 nRF2401A dev boards, each with a transceiver connected to it. Both boards are programmed with V_02 of the sample firmware. Each device is connected to its own computer and externally powered at 5V. I want to be able to send and receive text or number data between the two computer wirelessly. I’ve tried using Hyperterminal and Comm Operator, but cannot get data sent from one computer to show up on the other computer. I’ve also tried searching the internet at large and the forums here for a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
