I apologize for my english!

Object:
i have to remotely control an ms-dos full screen session on
a windows 95 Pentium I with a Windows XP Pentium 4.

Step 1
'cause i hav'nt got a free network adapter on the win95 i'm
forced to use the direct parallel connection. Now it works
corectly. The win95 have no autentication needs, so the
connection is shown by the winxp as <user not autenticated>
but works.

Step 2
i know what kind of powerfull tool is netmeeting, so i
installed on the win95 the latest version of it(3.1).

Step 3
I estabilished a connection meeting and all seemed to work
correctly. But i have some trouble to see ms-dos sessions
from the WinXP. I do not loose control, but i only cannot
see the session that i'm controlling. If i write something
i can see the result on the win95, but my winXP is blind.

Step 4
I tried to use the Remote Desktop Saring tool, but after  
    the configuration that i read on MS site i could not
estabilish a connection. When i try the latest step of the
connection from the winxp to the win95 the error message is
this :"the user you called is not able to open a
connection" (i translated it from italian)    

Question:
It's not important the way i take to resolve the problem.
But please help me. Thanks for all the answers.

I am not totally sure of your situation or exactly what problem you are
seeing.

The physical connection ( ie parallel vs. ethernet or dial up) should not be
an issue as long as supports TCP/IP. I presume from your description that
that is true?

Authentication in a NetMeeting RDS connection on Win9x machine is provided
by NetMeeting itself.

Do you actually connect in a RDS call successfully and appear to get control
of the other end?

thanks for your fast sunday answer!

i will explain you better my problem.
my 2 PCs are connected in LAN with a parallel cable on the
LPT1 port. i'm not able to see shared folders between the
computer, but it does'nt matter. in this context i can run
a netmeeting connection between they.

the principal problem is not taking control. i did it. but
i can't see ms-dos sessions that i'm controlling from the
winxp. the operations i do on the winxp are correctly
completed on win95, but on winxp i see nothing. this is the
core problem, i must take remote control of an ms-dos
application and it's obviuos that i must look that what i'm
doing.

i hope strongly that my wanted goal is now more clear.
please help me.

thanks

I don't know what the problem might be with NetMeeting-- using something
like vnc ( www.realvnc.com ) might achieve your goal though.

hello brian,
i tried with vnc. but the result seemed to be the same.
i think that the problem is caused by the full screen
visualization of ms-dos. later i will try with a window
that includes the ms-dos application (alt+return). between
win2000 and win98 with ethernet adapter it runs perfectly.
this evening i will try. thank you so much for your
suggestions.
