Direct Cable connections Sunday, March 10, 2002 at 2:16 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Big Mike (1 messages posted) ok heres the lowdown: XP has the feature available to view files through DCC but is unable to transfer files to or from the XP computer... if you're connecting two 95/98/ME computers you shouldnt have a problem.. but being as XP is based on the NT operating systems and as any techie knows, most files are not compatable between the 98 and NT systems except for online communications (sever/host connection via TCP/IP)... the only way you MIGHT be able to transfer files is to burn on a disk, ZIP drive or portable media and hope XP recognizes the files and file types.... but for those of you wanting to connect an XP computer with a 95/98/ME computer.... use regular Networking with a hub... provided you have an Ethernet card on both computers Written in response to: Me too can't get XP & 98 to talk even when connected (Kathleen: Thursday, February 7, 2002 at 9:01 pm) Responses to this message: re: Direct Cable connections (Matt0r: Friday, June 14, 2002 at 12:59 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'Why can't I get the Direct-Cable Connection to work?'
