DCC between Windoows 98 and Windows XP

[Jason Graham]

I am trying to get my laptop (WinXP Pro) to talk to my
desktop (win98SE) in an infrared network so that the
briefcase function will operate between the two of them.

The IR Link is operating and i can transfer files, but the
computers won't connect with the laptop saying...
Error 770: The remote computer rejected the connection
attempt.
The Desktop says (after starting the DCC program...
Is the guest computer running?

I don't know what else to try after following the advice
from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;298466
I have read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 259819
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;259819 and wondered if this was true for XP?

=======================================================
I take it that there are more than these two computers involved, and that is
what
you mean by being able to transfer files but won't connect....
