Microsoft Most Valuable Professional - Windows Networking http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Steve Winograd's Networking FAQ http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm . Thank you Steve. I located the DCC program however I can't get it to work. I have connected a null cable to both 'puters but the dialouge shows that the Guest (98) is ready to connect but I can't get to the host (98SE)'puter. I have one'puter running Windows 98 and the other running Windows 98SE. I have both 'puters turned on but I only have one monitor and one mouse. Does this matter? By the way I have also tried using a Lynksys router but that woudn't work either that's why I'm trying this method. My 98 'puter doesn't connect to the Internet throught the router. I've had this hook up before with my 98SE 'puter and different one and it worked ok then. Hope you can help me again. Robert. |

This web page should help you get DCC working: DirectParallel® and Direct Cable Connection (DCC) Step-by-Step SETUP http://www.lpt.com/Support/DCC-SetUp/dcc-setup.htm In my experience, DCC can be difficult to set up and use. It should be much easier to make an Ethernet connection through your Linksys router. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
