I know this has to have been asked here before:
I have an MN-700 cabled to my desktop - that desktop
connects to the internet the good old-fashioned way: 56K
modem dialup (I know, I know - DSL available soon in my
area).
I have 2 other laptops each with an MN-720 adapter.
I was on the phone with some fella in India for over 4
hours configuring this setup to let me share files,
printer AND manage the ICS. Everything worked
beautifully, however - once accomplished I noticed that
there was no wireless security in place at all. The
Indian fellow assured me that I did not need it.
I have since updated to SP2 on all computers (XP
Professional) and also installed the firmware and
software updates for the MN's.
Guess what? Lost my network! After fiddling forever, I
finally decided to just start all over: uninstalled
hardware and software - reinstalled (patches too),
implemented WEP.
I have restored file and printer sharing - albeit spotty
for some reason - but for the life of me can't re-
establish my dialup share!
Is there help for me (besides the obvious answer: get
Broadband) - I must be able to share my meager little
dialup.
As I recall - the Indian fellow had me setup the base
station as an Access Point. I tried doing that and lost
everything again. Can't remember what trick did it!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
George
