Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
1 Check the cable. If the machines are
connected back to back, use a
crossover cable.
2 Make sure File and Print Sharing is
installed and enabled.
3 Use the same workgroup name for
both computers.
Use the "Find Computer" function under
Windows 95. If you do not see other PCs,
make sure the latest Windows 95 Service
Pack is installed.
Shut down and log on as another user.
If you are able to log on, remove the
AUTOLOGON value from the Registry.

Check for resource conflicts.
Occasionally a conflict occurs between the
