Hello, is it possibly to network two or more computer though dial-up, say I was sitting here at my home computer, and my dad wated to go on and access he computer at his store, is there any way to network then, I'm quite new to the whole networking thing, don't look at me like I have 100 000 000 heads.
I know that in Win XP you can dial into the computer, if it is on a phone line. Then you can access whatever you need from the computer at the store....If you want a detailed explanation on how to do this with XP, just send me a pm and Ill write a tut for you....I did it for my home computer, so i could access certain files while i was away on vacation. Its not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it is doable. ;)
i would suggest checking out pcAnywhere
hope that helps ya out.
Windows 2000 help explians how to do this fairly well. start-help-networking-make a dialup connection using a phone line.
pcAnywhere is by Symantec, the same fellows that give you Norton Everything, including crashguard that randomly crashed your computer every once in a while to see if it can do anything about it. ;)
However, pcAnywhere is actually a pretty decent program. Essentially, it allows you to set it up on both ends and allow computer A (at home) to directly dial into Computer B (at work) and pop it open in a new window. anything that is done on Computer B can be seen on Computer A and vice versa. heck, you and your dad could have mouse wars to control the mouse if you are home and he is at work.
Another option is Back Office, lovingly referred to as Back Orifice. It wil allow him to administer windows.
I seem to recall another way to connect that was pretty simple, but i think that was software too. so my final answer is going to be get some kind of software. you'll have to configure the IP addresses, IPX, whatever you use... but i'm sure that will all be in a readme or instructions.
I think Back Orifice and Back Office are different products, ones MS and ones Cult of the Dead Cow.
visit your friend google here and do some reading.
there are a lot of software packages that could help
Somethings I should mention, my dad uses WIN2000 Pro, XP home and ME, and he uses the same dial-up account to dail-up different computer that he own to the internet.
Sorry to be a pain but this will be a quick one.
I just installed redhat 7.3 and i cant seem to get my modem working, anyone know if there is a working driver for this?
Lucent V.92 56k Internal PCI
model on chip SV92P-T00
if any of you know where i may get a driver for this device i will be forever greatfull.
thanks again.
I've had the same problem too, then it said it was a WinModem, and I had no Idead what it ment, so I just installed Windows. Because that what I thought the problem was... I like to know the answer too, and also the answer to my question...:);)
http://www.driverguide.com/indexddc.htm is a good source for drivers. Membership is free, and odds are you can find your missing drivers there. A word of advice...from my personal experience, winmodems are a pain in the butt...a true hardware modem will give much less trouble.
Yeah, but what can I do for a WinModem in Linux with-out buying a new modem.
Ive been trying to work out the details on how to do this. Unfortunately its saturday night and apparently all my friends have lives. IE nobody is home. So I dont have anyone to try to connect to. Im reasonably sure that all you have to do is set the store machine to accept incoming connections and you can use the modem on your home computer to dial directly to it over the phone lines. Thanks for asking this question because this was something i wanted to try and never got around to actually doing. You should consider th3>kLuTzs offer to write a tutorial for you on how to do this since he has some experience with this. I wouldn't mind reading it myself. One thing thing to consider is that allowing the store computer to accept incoming connections is a security risk so use strong passwords on the store computer. What OS are you running at home and at the store? As for the Red Hat modem problem my suggestion would be to check the manufactuers website for Linux drivers. Im not sure if they make drivers for winmodems or not. Good Luck
Well, dosn't really matter, becasue I'm using Windows now. Oops. :eek:
