Direct Cable connection
Hi,
I have completed configuring a Direct Cable Connection between an XP ( client ) and a Windows 95 ( host ). Apparently I am successful in logging on to the host since I get a registering the network message. Then, I get an error 736 message stating " Remote Computer Terminated the Control Protocol " followed by an error 771 stating that the network is busy.
That's it. How do I get the two computers to communicate?

Is your goal just to "see" and share folders and files?
Windows 95 to XP seems a stretch to me. There are major intervening changes, such as FAT 32, the new NTFS and probably "a million" others.

What I did worked for me though.
My steps:
* open the XP case (which had an empty drive bay next to the CD-RW/DVD) and disconnect that drive's signal cable and power
* with the Windows 95 PC shut down, open up and remove the hard drive after disconnecting drive signal cable and power cable
* This assumes (mine was) that the XP system has EIDE (not SATA) -- secure the Win 95 hard drive inside the spare drive bay and connect the signal cable and power that you removed from the CD-RW/DVD
* Close the XP tower case, re-connect all the cables and (last) the AC power and start it up
If you have the fortune that I did, you will see both drives under "My Computer" and can copy files, move files, put onto flash drive (mine is 1 GB each) and/or "burn" to CD-R to your heart's content.

Voila....It worked as described. Figuratively, " worked right out of the box ".
After copying my windows 95 hard disc to the XP hard disc, I printed from Windows 95 generated files both an envelope address and a letter successfully using Word 97.
Also, my Microsoft Quick C compiler appears to be working fine.
Thank you BBraxton.
