It used to be under Start -> Programs -> Accessories somewhere.
But really, don't go DCC, you'll regret it trust me.

OK, buy a 10/100 NIC for your desktop and install it. Then, you need some CROSSOVER rj45 network cable (if the stuff you have at the moment has different connectors on each end it's not rj45) and plug them in.

Sorry about not posting for ages but now i have decided that i need to link the two computers so that i can transfer files, see my other topic. But in terms of the ethernet card(mine is a "Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100-Ready"??, i have one cable, one end plugs into the card and the other seems to be a socket for one of those small internet sockets (like the size which comes from the back of a PC) I do not currently have a network card in my Desktop, so any advice on what to get and what to do afterwards.
Thanks in Advance

Even easier then, just need one network card and a crossover cable.
problem is that my other comp is a laptop, it has an ethernet card though??
I never got more than about 10kb/s from DCC, hardly worth it.
Suppose, I only used mine for file transfers, as back then CD Writters were pretty costly. Never used the cable for gaming, so if you say its poor, then fair enough.
Direct cable is poor though, you could set up a simple network for about £12 if you look around. 2x Network Cards, start at about £5, and some crossover cable, I paid £2.50 for 2m last time I bought some.
