| 497725 | 2006-11-09 07:39:00 | Hi one and all. I have a mate who has a home desktop PC with an Internal ASDL Modem/Router. When he brings his laptop home, at the moment, he is only able to use the inbuilt laptop dial up modem. Is there a way he can access ADSL via the network port in the desktop PC . I haven't started to play as yet and am looking for some ideas. Here's hoping Cheer HH |

Often its a CLM (career limiting move) unless specifically authorised. |
