I just setup a network using a SMC Barricade 7004ABR router and a Creative
external dialup modem. Everything works fine. The only bother is I have
to log into the router configuration to dial the modem. I'd like to create
a connection icon to dial the modem (like when the modem was connected to a
com port) but XP Home won't let me find the modem behind the router. Is
there a way around this?

Thanks, Fred

Fred,

I use a 7004ABR for dialup when my DSL is down. I have it setup to dial upon
demand ("Auto-reconnect"), and disconnect only with no inactivity. So I never
have to manually make it dial the modem. Try auto-reconnect.

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

I've turned off auto-reconnect as I do a lot of off-line work and I don't
want to keep dialing my ISP. Oh well...Thanks anyway.
