Windows 2000 Getting an DCC Call
After we defined the "Incoming Connection",
the system is ready to accept
Incoming DCC calls (example: from a Windows95/98 system) ,
which is almost identical
to getting an Incoming
modem call:
Once a DCC connection is active:

the "Incoming Connection" icon becomes more colorful
showing an
"Unauthenticated User" and
the icon in the taskbar.
By opening a Command-Prompt Windows and typing : IPCONFIG
:

Windows 2000 will list the IP-configuration of all network
adapters, including the
PPP adapter of the RAS server, used for the DCC-connection.
You can get the IP-address also (much easier) by double-clicking
the in your taskbar:
 |
tab: General
shows the connection statistics
(I think it got the Speed of 4.0 MBS wrong),
also allowing you to terminate the connection,
to "Disconnect" |
 |
tab
: Details
shows the configuration of the DCC connection:
- protocols used
- IP-address of both the DCC host and DCC client |
Note, that you have to re-activate
the connection after a Reboot
(like re-activating
an incoming Modem connection)
( Like on a connection via modem)
once a Guest has connected via DCC,
the Windows2000 DCC-host can access the shares of the DCC-guest
(if the guest has File-and-Print sharing activated).
