    In 1991 \textit{F. B. Shepherd} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 53, 173-194 (1991; Zbl 0776.05055)] stated the following problem: Are all the 4-connected DC graphs Hamilton-connected? The authors of the present paper answer this question affirmatively and prove a stronger statement: Every 3-connected DC graph is Hamilton-connected; and this requirement can not be lowered.
