In Win2K, go to Accessories->Communications->Network and Dialup connections.

In there you can set up a new connection for a direct cable connection.

Good luck. ~Apex1x

I've always had trouble when trying to use DCC between 9x/Me and Nt/2k/XP machines - don't do it very often, and usually get it sorted to do transfer I want, but never quite sure how I got it to work! Don't think ICS works over it - but networks cards are very cheap & you just need 2 with a crossover cable for proper, much better networking.

i have the network adapters and a cat5 wire but i don't have the proper tools to make it a crossover.. i was just trying dcc cause i had the stuff for it =) just thought it would be easy and fast.. guess not =) i guess i'll just give up the dcc and go w/ converting this cat5.. thanks =)
