| 419644 | 2006-01-12 05:33:00 | The people who programmed the XP thing had probably never seen a W95 machine, and assumed that all disks were all 40GB or more. Even a 2GB disk like yours is big by W95 standards. (Though it's not unusual by W95 standards for it to be nearly full. :)) DCC will let you move a directory or a file at a time. But that's only if it works. Ethernet looks nicer and nicer. |

| 419646 | 2006-01-14 00:05:00 | I found a W95 book, and, as far as I can see, all you have to do is run the DCC wizard on W95, selecting the "Host" box, then exiting. Then run the DCC wizard on the new box, select "Guest" and exit. Then I think another "disk" will appear on the Guest computer. It's a long time since I have used it. The other DOS/Win tool was Interlnk. If that will work under the XP "pseudo DOS" that's quite good. Otherwise ... ;) |

| 419648 | 2006-01-14 01:57:00 | Interlnk is a bit of a maybe. I know it was part of DOS 6.2, and I'm assuming it was included in the "DOS 7" of W95. It can send the client software up to the other computer, but I don't know if that would run under the Sort-of-DOS in XP. Try interlnk /? in both DOSs. ;) If it's got the help file, it'll have the programme. If serial DCC doesn't work, the parallel probably won't either. It's just a bit faster. A LapLink parallel cable does need quite a few conductors ... Google with "Laplink parallel pinout" should find the connections. (I have a feeling it's going to be Ethernet. :D) |

| 419649 | 2006-01-14 02:08:00 | When you use the the DCC connection wizard to install DCC, Dial Up Networking is also installed. The network configuration on both computers should be the same, and, to get it to work, you should install IPX/SPX protocol on both computers, and these protocols should be bound the Dial Up Adapter. Essentially there are just the same problems getting DCC to work as setting up a network and getting both computers to see and talk to each other. It may require perseverence :) |
