Help me out please! (Newbie)

I`m sorry for asking, perhaps it has been told several times but i am new, I got VBA link 1.72 and TLOZ four swords,first i unchecked pause when unactive window, i just want to play it on one computer, not one LAN, in the link option where it says link in timeout miliseconds i have it in 100, i think the rom detects the link because after the chose a game screen i can continue to the F.S intro but after there i am stuck in the conecting witho other sistems please wait. Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong i woul really apreciate it.
