I am attempting to connect two PCs (Win95 & Win98 Op. Systems) via a DirectParallel universal cable. The program that came with the cable, ?Connection Monitor?, is able to verify the connection & gives information about both computer systems, so they are communicating.
When I attempt to connect, the connection wizard asks for a password for the guest (even when no password is selected on the host CPU) and then asks for logon domain....the wizard promptly
disconnects after this step. This is a home environment, trying to share files straight thru please tell me .........thanks

As I remember you should use the Windows component 'direct cable connection'. I'm not 100% sure about that name, but you should not use the 'Connection Wizard' to get them connected.

You need to use a different user to log in from both end . That will allows the server end to accept the login .
