How do I get Windows XP to call up dialup connection when a program requests internet access?.?

Posted on February 16, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I’m running World Community Grid software on a Windows XP SP2 system. The program downloads a work unit, then processes it for a varying time period, usually several hours, then needs to connect to server to upload results and download a new work unit. It needs to call up dialup networking to do so. It does this with no problem in Windows 98SE, but not in XP.

When I start IE on my XP system, it calls up dialup networking, dials and connects as it should, so I know my connection is correctly configured. Can anybody help with this?
I tried running in different compatibility modes – it wouldn’t run at all in 95 or 98 mode- got a missing dll error. Ran OK in 2000 mode, but had original problem, not calling up dailup networking. Any other suggestions?

Networking 2 PCs when one has dial-up modem?

Posted on May 10, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

How can I connect my second pc which has only dialup modem to my other pc.
I have heard that a hub could do it and it wouldnt even have to use the dialup modem. The second pc doesnt have an ethernet card. My first pc does have an ethernet card, and i have a dsl connection. I would like to be able to access files on my first pc from my second pc.
