In anticipation of the arrival of the Fujitsu,
I
spent last night experimenting with setting up a basic network at home,
between
my pc and laptop with a crossover cable.
Got most of it going fine using ICS,
however
just one hitch, how do I get the client machine (the laptop) to initiate an
internet connection? It seems that it is reliant upon whether the main
machine
is connected to the internet or not, unfortunately as I live in the back of
beyond I do not have access to anything more than a basic dialup, so
permanent
connection is not an option.
The question is how can I get the laptop to
initiate the dial up? If I can do this I will be tempted to run more cat5
around
the house or to go wireless, however if I have to keep returning to my
study to
connect to the internet it will somewhat defeat the purpose and certainly
fail
SWMBO approval.
Any suggestion gratefully
received..
Thanks
