137934 2003-04-22 21:20:00 Im after a piece of software that'll let me use XP's Dialer on another LAN PC.

I used to have a second PC running XP, and it could dial in using the Gatewatw's Dial-Up connection to the Net. Can I do that with a proggy in Win2K as the Client, still using WinXP as the Gateway?!

Cheers

137935 2003-04-23 01:38:00 Doesn't this just require an ICS (Internet Connection Software) Proxy? WinME-WinXP have ICS, you just configure it to work with your network and whenever the 2k computer needs to use the internet it'll tell the XP machine to dial out if not already dialed. Kame (312)
137936 2003-04-23 10:09:00 Yes, I could, but I really want to be able to disconnect as well.. and preferrably view some staticstics, like I could when I had a WinXP Client.. but Im back to Win2K on them all, so I cant really :( Chilling_Silently (228)
137937 2003-04-23 20:10:00 Hey

Try the Remote Disconnection Utility (www.twiga.fsbusiness.co.uk) if you want to be able to tell the gateway to disconnect from the internet via a client machine.
Also, you could try ICS config (www.pcworld.com) Which provides a more advanced setup option for ICS. I'm not too sure if it allows remote disconnection or anything though sorry
