| 672456 | 2008-05-26 03:49:00 | Hey Jamuz: This is kinda strange . . . what if it's NOT a wireless connex I'm running and they are wired with CAT5e to a router and then to dialup?? Same thing? In this case -> DAD = dialup primary with XP-Pro, . 7 GHz; DSL Linksys 10/100 LAN card to router and a dial modem card to telephone line . There is ONLY dialup at that station . . . it's 'way out in the boonies in the hills of San Diego . MOM = newly-added puter with XP-Home, 2 . 5GHz; DSL card as above . . but also has a dialup modem card in it . . . . although it is disabled . Assuming the Internet is connected via broadband (ADSL) connection on DAD 1 . Go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Network Connections 2 . Left-click on wireless adapter once HUH? 3 . Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click on broadband connection once 4 . Right-click on either of the connections, and click "Bridge Connections" 5 . When correctly done, both the wireless adapter and broadband connection icons should appear under a new heading called "Network Bridge" What I want to do ultimately is retire the (now) tower (XP-Pro) with some "problems" but a lot of files on it, to let it play card games and then transfer all the files and such to the newer puter . . the one with XP-Home . I want to then swap the places where they are in different rooms of the house and allow the OLD DAD to use the dialup connex when NEW DAD is running . I want to swap the MOM and DAD roles at that point . I know the speeds are gonna get crippled . . but there's no caps there and they can grind for days if they need to . Once it's done, the new MOM won't be asking to go online anyway, but I want them to have file-sharing capability anyway . Later on I will swap Pro into OLD MOM:NEW DAD (yes I can!) and that should be the end of that . Hey! Another good idea . . . maybe I'll try to put PCLos in it too! Yeah! Good idea!!! :groan: Hey Joe, The instructions that you have just copied and pasted from my website is meant for the situation where you have got two computers connected to the same computer (i . e . A <---> B <---> C) . In this case, apply the steps specified on computer "B" to bridge the connection between computer "A" and "C" . As such, in your situation, the instructions do not apply at all . Cheers :) |
