Installing and Configuring Direct Cable Connection

To install Direct Cable Connection during Windows 95 Setup, you must choose Custom or Portable as the Setup type. You can also install it after installing Windows 95.

To install Direct Cable Connection after Windows 95 installation

1. In the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel, click the Windows Setup tab.
2. In the Components list, click Communications, and then click the Details button.
3. In the Communications dialog box, click Direct Cable Connection, and then click OK.

Windows 95 provides a Direct Cable Connection wizard for establishing the connection between two computers. The wizard runs when you open Direct Cable Connection for the first time. It allows you to designate one computer as the guest and the other as a host. Before you run the wizard, you need to install Direct Cable Connection on each computer and connect them with a null-modem serial or parallel cable.
