for additional information: See Parallel
Technologies' Web Site
for detailed information on
Internet Connection Sharing via Direct Cable Connection
(DCC) : There are some
very helpful Step-By-Step Setup Instructions for setting
up
DirectParallel® Direct Cable Connection (DCC)
on Windows 95/98/2000/ME:
In the
Properties/configuration of Network,
where you should have for basic DCC
connectivity the components:
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- Dial-Up Adapter
- NetBEUI protocol
- TCP/IP protocol
- File and Printer sharing (optional)
no need to assign an IP-address, it will
use by default: 192.168.55.2
tab:
DNS Configuration
- enable DNS
- enter your computer name as Host
- enter the IP-address of the DCC-host as DNS Server.
This is required, so that the DCC-client
knows to pass any DNS-request
(like: www.wown.com) on to
the DCC
host, which will itself pass it on to the
DNS-server defined by your Internet
provider.
Verify this
configuration:
Make the DCC connection to the DCC host,
use "winipcfg" (via
the Start-menu / Run)
(or "ipconfig" on NT4
and Windows2000):
- make sure that the IP-address of the
DCC host is defined as DNS-server
Note: although the Gateway address
is displayed to be the same as the
IP-address of the DCC-client, it is
working properly.
However, if you experience problems,
then I suggest to defined MANUALLY
for the DCC client:
- IP-address: 192.168.55.2
- subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.55.1
