Direct cable connection won't work
I am trying to hook up my IBM thinkpad , W/98 to my PC which also
has W/98. I want to use the direct cable connection and bought a new cable to do this. I went through the configuration steps on both computers and initiated the program on both with one set up as host and the other as guest but IT WILL NOT CONNECT! aaaarrrghh! Any ideas? Thanks in advance Rick |

Direct cable connection won't work
Thanks for the help. Your web page helped me get through configuration
for the laptop but the pc will not extract the files needed and seems to want to extract those files from C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\AOL\ACS\NET\WIN98SE\ rather than the CD that has W98 on it. Do you know where on the W98 cd those files are. Thanks again Rick On Mon, 11 Dec 2006 22:25:34 -0500, Bill Watt wrote: On Mon, 11 Dec 2006 18:38:36 -0800, Rick Wilmath wrote: I am trying to hook up my IBM thinkpad , W/98 to my PC which also has W/98.
