I have a new XP Computer, and wish to transfer files from my old Win95 based
computer. I have tried using the XP Connection Wizard to create a Host
computer connection on the new computer. I have used the Win95 Direct Cable
Connection to create the Guest connection on the old computer. I have
connected the two computers with a proper Null Serial Cable from COM1 on the
Guest and COM1 on the Host, but XP is not recognizing the Guest.
 
I was having a similar problem- I rented a box on the internet to store my
files. I upload the files from my old computer to the box and then download
the files to my new computer. I rented a 5 G box for $9 for a month. It
will take several times to transfer all the files but it is an easy solution.
You can rent larger boxes.
