Dialup Internet Access

Posts Tagged ‘Net’

i just switched from Gay ol (aol) to Net Zero Dialup.(yeah i know i am in the stone age but its all my computer can take without upgrading) anyway with AOL i could be logged on for 24 hours straight and not get Booted. But Net zero Like clockwork ALWAYS boots me after 3 hours even if i am actively using internet explorer
Please help

Is it possible to enter in another computer through net? I know if both of them use broadband line then its possible to enter. But if one use broadband & one use dialup is it still possible to enter? If one is chatting with you from another country & using broadband line & you are using dialup can you enter in his pc? If you can then would you explain it to me how is it possible to enter in another pc through net? Is it possible through windows or need special anyother program to do it? Please explain it to me.

My mom, husband, and myself have tried for years to help my grandma learn how to use the net. She is 85 and insists on having a computer and the internet. She refuses to get DSL and uses dialup. She cannot use a mouse, and changes back and from from isp’s (aol, netscape, people pc, etc) every few months. She fusses about one and says its too hard to work then when she changes to another she says the past one that was so bad is the best now. She recently got ripped off for a crappy computer after we told her exactly what to buy she went and bought what we told her to STEER CLEAR of. Ugh, what can we do?

wanting to access the Net via anotother computer that has only diallup conection?

I surf the Net exclusively on my Macs, but via wreless
dial-up connection on my Windows laptop, which acts as
my server. The issues are two-pronged.

1. Whenever I shut down the server (due Windows
fragility issues), I have to set up my Network
connections (Netwrok Bridge) all over again such that it streams the connectivity to my Macs. (This is different from having to refresh dialup connections periodically.) Before that, when I check the network connections on my Mac Mini and G4, I notice that all the IP addresses and other details showing a connection to the server display alright, but always get a “NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET” message when I try to surf. Until I run Network setup on the Windows laptop all over again, that is. What gives?

2. Also, I wanted to share files with all computers (PCs and Macs) on this network, but I don’t see anything on the server. What am I doing wrong?
