Direct cable connection
I have got a new P2 into which i installed an old Windows95. I could connect with my notebook 486 but not with my p100. Then i installed a newer win 95 and now i can't connect to any of my other computers. These connect with each other (and both have old W95) but not with P2: Cables, ports and computers OK when in other use. The question always "Is the other computer running? " Where lies the snag?
Are you connecting by paralell or serial port?
What happens if you upgrade your notebook or P100 to the later version of Win95?

I agree-- I too have not been successful with such DCC routines. Simply get 2 NIC cards and a R45 Crossover Cable and setup a NETBUI system or something similar.

Certainly a workaround. It means that every time I take my portable out I'm going to have to plug in and out one more cable, what a drag, but as long as computers are not on an extern network like network connectiion to the internet so Norton Commander or like will have to do. Just thought for a couple of years ago that not going to need NC ever more.
Thanks anyway!
