Direct Cable Connect Problem

Having a problem installing and running Microsoft 'Direct Cable Connect' between 2 PCs connected by crossover parallel cable. I setup the folders I wish to share. All proceeds well and I get a message that the two are connected . The guest then asks for the name of the Host computer. I enter the name shown in 'Belarc' (also in 'System Information'). I then get a message "\\(host computer name) is not accessable. Unknown error 2114 ". Of course the big mystery is is meaning of error 2114. I tried several tutorials listed in Google. But most of them show the basics, but not 'What to do when---'. Added the following to network Configuration:

Dial-Up Adaptor
TCP/IP
IPX/SPX -comnpatable protocol-TCP/IP
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

Any ideas?

Win98 SE.

 

Unless you need IPX for something specific, you can get rid of it.

Install NetBEUI on both.

Make sure the workgroup name is the same on both.

Make sure NetBEUI is bound to the network cards.

If you are only using TCP/IP for dial-up, it only needs to be bound to the dial-up adapter rather than the NICs (network cards).

You should be good to go.
