That helped out some, I'm half way there now.
I have my windows 95 computer configured, however I'm having problems making
the actual connection.
I have a connection setup on my win2k computer to accept incoming
connections, altho it's limited to 56k for some reason :/ but that's not my
problem, the computers just refuse to talk to each other now.
My win95 computer gets to 'verifying username and password' and gives me
this error message:
"dial-up networking could not negotiate a compatible set of network
protocols you specified in the server type settings.
Check your netowrk configuration in the control panel then try the
connection again."
However, I have tcp/ip+ppp selected on both sides, as well as dhcp
configured. Everything /should/ work, but it isn't.
