O/T networking a dailup in winXP home

[Jody]

Is anyone using a dailup and sharing the conection to a network.

 

We have two computers at home with win xp home on both. i can not seem to get the client to see the internet connection through the host. the network works good. i followed the network wizard to set it up. but something is just not liking me (normal).

 

 

Thanks

ps for those of you that don't remember dailup is the old way of using a phone line to get on the net

do you have the host pc set for internet sharing?

thats all I can think of

[Jody]

I do have it set to share. I went back through the network wizard again last night on both computers. still doesn't work. I did this at work on accident 3yrs ago with Win98 and 2000. now that I want to do it I can't

 

thanks mayday

In internet explorer go to tools-options-connections. Is there a dial up present?

If so remove. Go into lan settings and tell it to use proxy.

 

Do this on the computer that is NOT connected to phone line.

How do you have the client networked to the host computer with the internet connection? Through a hub?

 

Long time ago, before broadband and router, I did this one.

 

Client computer with on nic card, hooked up to host via a cross-over ethernet cable to another nic card. It must be a cross-over cable not a normal CAT 5 cable. Host computer has modem and a program called Proxy from Analog X.

This worked on Win98 not sure about WinXP.

 

Doesn't Xp have an internet sharing option? I'm a Win2K guy myself.

I have used proxy dozens of times and it is great. However a friend tried it on a winXP computer the other day and we couldn't get it to work with XP. I have an e-mail in to Mark but he's too fameous and busy now to talk to me any more.

thanks for the help guys. I don't have it working yet but I will keep messing with some more settings.

 

thanks

to my understanding...... winxp home cannot be networked but winxp pro can

[elbro]

I networked XP home with a wireless router.

i have the two computers networked fine. i just can use the host computer's dailup conection to get on the net with the client. i have not tried Brent's suggestion yet, i will soon and let you know.

 

thanks
