Direct Cable Connect

I need to re install Windows ME on a computer and I am
trying to transfer files to another computer via direct
Cable connect. However, even though they connect via a
serial connection, the guest computer says it cannot find
shared folders, prompts for a host computer name, and even
when provided, then says it cannot find host. Can anyone
help?

Review the information in the Help file under Direct Cable Connection to
ensure that both computers are configured correctly.
