DCC - Getting more SPEED out of DCC Thursday, December 29, 2005 at 12:50 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Hellen D. (1 messages posted) This will help to get more SPEED out of your DCC Connection: Get the file: http://www.lvr.com/files/ecp-dcc.zip This describes how to build and test an 8-bit ECP cable for Microsoft DCC usage. (if DCC works OK already) I did it using two used printer cables and soldering the correct wires together. Cost: $5 from thrift store. A patch for Microsoft's PARALINK.VXD is included. Caution: The patch DOES NOT make a backup! With this technique, you can hit 400,000 BYTES persec equilivent to USB 1.0 or NIC 10 speeds. This blows away any serial connection speed!!! If you also want Internet connection sharing, get: http://www.netfor2.com/DcShare42.zip --------------------------------------------------------- On Wednesday, October 13, 2004 at 9:28 am, summer wrote: > >similar problem, but the worse one is that even though I enable the file sharing >option on win98/control panel/network, after restart I right-click the C drive, but >still no sharing tab given!!! > >Then everytime when I tried to use 98 as host in DCC error message pops up saying >"file sharing not enable yet, continue w/o allowing guest to view your files?" rediculous.... >the connection going, but I cann't view the 98 files, nothing exist under the its >name > >help please........... > > Written in response to: re: Question about 'Why can't I get the Direct-Cable Connection to work?'
