Win 98 cable connection

I'm trying to get Direct Cable Connection to recognize the
crossover cable I've plugged into the USB ports on each
computer. Both computers are running Windows 98. Both
computers light up when I plug in the cable, but the
software doesn't recognize the connection.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

DCC will not use a USB cable, only a serial or parallel cable.
