I've been trying to connect a laptop with my dekstop machine via DCC. Though the connection is successful, an error always occurs which saying that the Guest can't find the shared folders in the Host, even if the shared folders and file sharing protocols have been set properly. A dialogue box appears, asking for the name of the Host computer. I type in the name, but says that the Host computer cannot be found. (PS. The laptop's OS is Windows 98 SE.)
