Computer A is Master and Computer B is slave.
You can try in Arena 3.5.1! | Just remember to check correct COM port and select Master and Slave correctly.
You can't have Master selected on both computers simply.
Make sure to mark "Start with Black" on slave computer.
Then you are ready, i recommend starting computer A first then B or vice versa if that didn't work.

At the beginning I would like to thank. I did just likeYou. Unfortunately leeching games or in the Fritz or in the Arena. Arena shows me a message as shown below.
I wonder why that is and why there is no connection, and how to check whether the connection is correct.

It's hard to help you without any pictures or information of the connection of computers.

It should work.
Make sure to double check COM ports on both computers so you select the correct one on each computer.
Also i don't recommend pressing start on both computers at the same time, maybe 2-3 seconds delay between the first one to the second, - try that.
