TCP/IP Direct Connect

If TCP/IP Direct Connect is configured with a link type of HSAS or MPCPTP, please refer to the section titled “Troubleshooting” in the “ MPC+ for Windows NT Installation Guide”.

In Windows 2000 the easiest way to tell if TCP/IP Direct Connect has failed to activate is to look at the system’s console(Figure 6-4). Since TCP/IP Direct Connect is seen as a LAN connection by Windows 2000, a disconnect icon will display if TCP/IP Direct Connect is not active.
