Dear Listers:

I'm trying to connect two computers using the Direct Cable Connection offered
thru Win95 using parallel port connections.  I've set up computer one as a
host, use the MSCLient software, bound TCP and IPX to it and get a "computer
is listening for a connection" message.

Computer #2 is set as the guest, uses the MSClient and TCP and IPX.

Both computers have the dial up adapter installed.  Both have Win95 service
pack 1. Computer #1 is old: 100mhz Pentium Packard Bell.  Computer #2 233Mhz,
HOT 555 mobo

My problem:  computer #2 doesn't seem to be connecting.  I've individually
marked all folders on computer #1 as shareable, as well as all drives.
Computer #2 also marked as shareable.

Any ideas on how to get these two computers connected for file sharing?

TIA,
Kevin Nowicki
