| 130922 | 2003-03-25 23:34:00 | I connect to the internet with dial-up through Ihug and i have two computers. computer one run a proxy and computers two connects throught the proxy. this works ok but is not as good as i would like. computer number two only gets web access. not P2P or IRC Ect I have seen a cyber-cafe in wellington that lets you bring your own system in and connect to there network. when you boot your system DHCP sets up everything and all traffic is sent out there network connection like magic. my question is how does this work?? how can i do this at home?? NOTE: two computers are windows XP. I have a unix box too if that helps looking for a free solution. thanks |

| 130923 | 2003-03-25 23:45:00 | The cyber cafe most likely had a server or a router running the DHCP server which is not really needed at home, mainly due to expense. Unless you go to an ADSL connection then you wouldn't need a router. The best bet would be to remove the proxy software and just use Internet connection sharing in Windows XP. I have set this up for my family, they have 2 PC's running Windows XP, dial-up connection setup on one and the other shares the connection. They can do what ever they want from either PC. i.e P2P, IRC, MSN messenger etc. |
