Hi,

I'am trying to connect two win98 computers with a direct cable connection on the LPT1 port.The software for this is the standard win98 utility.
I can't establish a connection,host and guest is configured fine,filesharing is installed even as netbeui and tcp/ip(don't know which one it uses or even if it uses).
One machine is win98se the other normal win98.

Anybody any ideas?

Help is appreciated,

RB

and have read of Helmig's assorted networking info; he includes DCC.

will tell you how...

It's basically the same routine for '95 and '98.

Also there were some networking issues in '98 that were resolved in '98SE.
