I am having trouble making a connection
•

Use the Windows 95 Direct Cable Connection Troubleshooting as the

first step in resolving a problem. From the Start menu, choose Help,

and then use the index to search for Direct Cable Connection,

Troubleshooting.

•

Make sure that Windows 95 is installed on the host and the guest

computer.

•

Make sure that both computers are securely connected by a Direct

Parallel Cable. A Direct Parallel Cable is not the same as a standard

parallel cable.

•

When starting Direct Cable Connection for the first time, you are

prompted to select Host or Guest for the operating mode. Make sure

that one PC is the Host (PC Workstation) and one is the Guest

(mobile computer). If one of the computers is attached to a Local

Area Network (LAN) and you want both computers to have access to

LAN resources, set the computer attached to the LAN as the Host,

and the other computer as the Guest.

•

Make sure that the Host and Guest computers have unique computer

names. On both computers, from the Start menu, select Settings,

Control Panel, and then choose Network. Select the Identification

tab, and then verify that the computer name is different for each

computer. If necessary, change the computer name of the Guest

computer to a name that is unique for the entire workgroup. The

name is case sensitive.
