re: Question about 'Why can't I get the Direct-Cable Connection to work?' Tuesday, April 11, 2006 at 10:41 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Glenn Gillis (1 messages posted) Yes! I was having the same problem and this was the solution. FYI, the new link is: "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q258299/" and the pertinent text is: RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. On the computer running Windows 2000, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties. 2. Right-click the direct cable connection, and then click Properties. 3. On the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click Settings. 4. Click to select the Allow older MS-CHAP version for Windows 95 Servers check box, click OK, and then click OK. 5. Close the "Network and Dial-up Connections" window. Good sleuthing, Marc.
