SYMPTOMS
You may be unable to view shared resources on a computer you are connected to using the Direct Cable Connection (DCC) tool.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are trying to use the host computer to view shared resources on the guest computer.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, set the computer whose resources you want to view as the host. For information about how to do so in Windows 95 or Windows 98, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type "direct cable connection" (without quotation marks), and then double-click the "Setting up a Direct Cable Connection" (in Windows 95) or "Setting up" (in Windows 98) topic. For information about how to do so in Windows Me, click Start, click Help, type "direct cable connection" (without quotation marks)in the Search box, and then click Go.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The guest computer can view shared resources on the host computer, but the host computer cannot view shared resources on the guest computer.
