Let me do a quick reset here-----
Use a DIAL IP HOST Desktop OS W2W
Use a Linksys ROUTER to set Network betwwen Desktop and LAPTOP Win XP
home( wireless network)
Share INTERNET via ICS with the HOST !!
I have looked at the links suggested
QUESTION - Would it not be easier just to replace the ROUTER with an A/P (
if this would get the two PC's to share the dial-up connection and stay
networked )
It's easier for me fly a BOEING that get this working !!!
Thanks in advance
