At home i have WinXP , will be enough just to connect modem and use normal dial-up connection to office phone/modem? In office i think connect modem to WinXP computer. I read some F1-help and understand i must configure "Incoming connection" on this computer. Windows XP as a PPP dialup client is known to work just fine. I have never used Windows XP to accept incoming connections though. However, I did look through the same help that you just mentioned, and it looks like it should work. This computer is connected to routing computer Win98, which is
only machine connected to ADSL modem. What additional software must be on office XP PC to redirect dialup modem to Internet? I doubt you will need anything else, but your network design is a bit peculiar. My guess would be that you have only a single public IP address, and that your Windows 98 machine is acting as a router with NAT. If that is the case, it would probably be best if the Windows XP machine that is accepting incoming connections were not performing any sort of NAT. Multiple layers of NAT are confusing at best, and can render parts of your network unreachable at worst. I believe that you can obtain this behavior by ensuring that Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is not enabled on the Windows XP machine that is accepting incoming connections. Note then that you'll need to make sure the IP addresses you are assigning to dialup clients are never assigned to local network clients. Sasha, You are right about savings. Here this is 20 USD , but
i dont want to sign 1-year contract,i have one for cable TV, one for GSM , one for fixed phone,its enough ,i dont want any new 1-2-year contracts(for now). regards, Stefan Prepare to be underwhelmed by the dialup experience. :) --Sasha Jevtic |
