Is DCC the same thing as using a crossover cable? I've been trying to install the Direct Cable Connection between the 2 computers, and all it gives me is LPT1, COM1 and COM2 as a choice for ports. Both computers have onboard LANs that I wish to utilize. What am I doing wrong? If I do have to install DCC, how can I make it look at the onbaord LANs, and do they have a port assigned to them?
