183 1998-09-02 11:17:00 Can any one help me to get DCC working in Win 95. I have been through the trouble shooter and everything appears to match on both computers (both 200 mmx - one is a Laptop). I am using a parallel data transfer cable(all pins connected straight through)on the printer port - LPT 1. I recieve error messages on both computers to the effect that they cannot connect! Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Guest (0)

If both of your machine have one, you can create something call crossover connection where you link up both machines by connecting it with a crossover ethernet cable. Good luck on ya. Renmoo (66)

Your parallel cable needs to be a crossover not a straight through.
