Direct Cable Connection w/ Laptop (Win95) & Desktop (WinXP)

[Kari]

I am hitting a wall. I am trying to direct cable with my
husbands IBM Notebook (Win95) to my Dell 2450 - so I can
move some files and pictures over. Neither computer
seems to "shake hands" with the other.

Is there a compatability issue with Win95 & XP that won't
allow direct cable????

Any ideas?

Many thanks
