For the latest technical advice, please link to our <a HREF="http://www.microcom.com/cc/ccspt.htm">on-line technical page</a>. Important Reminder: You must run the ccwcopy.bat file for Carbon Copy/Net to run properly. You only have to do this once (preferably after installation, but anytime before using Carbon Copy is fine). To run the batch file... <ul> <li>Exit Windows.</li> <li>From the DOS prompt, type CD\CCWNS to go to the install directory. </li> <li>Type CCWCOPY.BAT to execute the batch file. Restart Windows.</li> </ul> Firewalls: Currently, Carbon Copy/Net does not support connections to other PCs through firewalls. Please see your network administrator for more information or check out Microcom's <a HREF="http://www.microcom.com/cc/ccspt.htm">on-line technical page</a> for the latest developments. Your TCP/IP Address: If you are installing Carbon Copy/Net while not connected to the Internet, you will receive a message that says "TCP/IP could not be found." DonÆt worry, when you connect to the Internet, Carbon Copy/Net will automatically find your TCP/IP address, and you will be able to make a remote control connection. To find out your TCP/IP address, choose Communications from the Carbon Copy Options menu. Please note that some Internet service providers give you a different TCP/IP address each time you connect to their service. Online Services: Carbon Copy/Net will not work if you connect to the Internet through an online service such as America Online or Compuserve. You must have a direct Internet connection with a TCP/IP address for Carbon Copy/Net to work properly. Grayed Out Menu Items: You may notice that some menu items, such as File Transfer and Chat, that are grayed out. While these features are not available in Carbon Copy/Net, they are available in the full version of <a HREF="cc.htm">Carbon Copy for Windows.</a> Netscape Version: Carbon Copy/Net will not run properly unless you are running Netscape Navigator 2.0 or greater. You must have Netscape installed BEFORE installing Carbon Copy/Net. Performance: Performance can vary depending on Internet traffic. <a NAME="Call Another" /A> Call Another PC <img src="ccplugc.gif" hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0 height=125 width =157 align=left >If you want you want to access another PC, this is the option you should choose.
