Regarding the direct cable connection wizard.
I am unable to get this working. I go through the wizard (setting w2k as guest) and connect to the other computer (win 95 as host) I get prompted for a username and password on the w2k machine. There is only the administrator account and one other account (guest as well, which is enabled).
I have tried all these accounts and passwords but still getting this message:
error connecting to direct connection error message:
Error 691 access was denied becausea the username and or password was invalid on the domain.
Not sure what is happening here. It seems that I am being asked for a username/password to log onto the w2k station – but none of the passwords work.
On the win95 side Ihave set the direct cable connection to be the host with no password. When trying to connect the w2k machine to it, The windows 95 machine gets the message
Direct Cable connection
Status: Verifying username and pasword…
and sits there until the error 691 arrives on the w2k machine.
Has anyone ever done this? What am I missing here? Appreciate any help.
