WinXP setup for "home" ISP

[Fred]

I have a WinXP PC connected to broadband through a router. This PC has a
fixed IP address on the LAN and also has a standard dial-up modem.

I would like to setup this PC so it can accept incoming calls and allow
these users to connect to the internet through my PC and my broadband
connection.

I've looked and it's not very obvious how to do it. Can anyone help? I've
tried lots of permutations of ticked boxes with fixed IP address / using
DHCP etc. Can anyone point me to a website which gives more information
about this?

And you people are supposed to be sensitive and sharp?

these users to connect to the internet through my PC and my broadband
connection.

I would like to setup that pc so it can accept incoming calls too, but you
can't have everything in life.

I've looked and it's not very obvious how to do it.

It changes things sometimes.

Can anyone help?

You need help?

I've had it up to here.

Hi,


As far as i know what you are trying to achieve is not possible,
what you have is a computer and not a router. The ICS feature would bridge
to ethernet media bout is unable to bridge the dial up and the ethernet due
to the disparities, so the computer will need to be able to route and do NAT
(actually the computer cannot NAT and that's the issue). Bootomline that
would be easily achived by a router, hope this helps.

The daft thing is I achieved it once but can't repeat it! So I know it is
possible.

This PC has a dial up modem which can receive incoming calls. I have set up
an incoming connection with two users.

Is ICS is the way forward - I'm not sure here and it's something I haven't
looked at yet. ICS normally relies upon the PC doing NATs so I'm now even
more confused.

I already have a router connected to broadband with NAT.

Telnet NVT

Telnet NVT

I am aware of telnet and is the protocol used to get your mail from a POP3
mail server. I'm not sure how NVT is going to help. Can you please expand
on this a bit?

I am no expert on this but I believe that if you set up a telnet server for
remote device access you can allow a client to access any application, it
works for SMTP, HTTP and chat clients. Dial in can be accomplished with
Hyperterminal. The output of NVT is intended to be ASCII to a printer but
this can be overcome through telnet options. The specifics of it are beyond
me since my stroke but there is some interesting reading here:

Once the incomming connection is establish, your PC and the dialin user can
talk to each other. It's obvious! how else do people play network gay such
as Age of Empire or Warcraft back in those days with their friend (well I
did back in those days when internet was expensive and its slower to play
via the Internet than it was to dialup to each other machine)

Anyways, I believe everytime a person dialin to your computer, your computer
will have an IP address that the remote computer can talk to your computer
on. (can check using "ipconfig /all")

So in theory, you can set up a proxy server (receiver pc) for DNS, HTTP, FTP
etc... and have their browser (remote pc) to access the proxy server
referrencing the SERVER ip address.

Sharing files and folder would be a different story. See how you go with
that theory and let us all know if it work.

Download CCProxy (seach google) it's free for 3 users or less.

Hope that help.
