I have no idea what you're doing but you've definitely left the
tracks somewhere.  A serial null modem cable must have two sockets
(female connectors) to marry the plugs which are on each of the two
computers. BTW a parallel (null printer?) cable will have two plugs.

In DOS type `help interlnk' and in Notes you will find the wiring
recipe for both types of cable.
