Hi ppl.
I need to make a dial up connection from home, to my computer in the office in order to use the ADSL connection to internet in the office. More or less i have an idea of what to do but somehow i mess the thing up and cannot get anything.
first i know that i have to make the high speed internet connection in the office shared (already done).
after i supposed to configure an account that could accept remote connections (from the dial up modem) I'm not sure how to do that.
besides i need a dial up modem connected to the computer that is connected to internet, but is needed to make it accept incoming calls and configure it to answer after a fixed amount of ringbells, i've read the modem's manual and tried to write the needed AT commands in the comand's initialization window but i dont know why it don't accept nothing there (will not work, or the modem comebacks to the status of not accepting incoming calls. i've checked the sintaxis already!!).
In case i succed After all that is supposed that i need to make a new dial up connection in home to the office telephone, and log on the new account when the modem answer and that's all?, correct me if not.
I have windowsXP Pro SP2 in all my computers and they are Pentium 4, my modem is MultiTech MT5634 ZBA USB56k modem.
If anybody have some advice or tutorial that i could use please help me!

I don't understand the purpose? You want to get your Dial-up internet to route through your ADSL connection at the office? For what purpose, to connect to the office network? To attempt to make the dial-up go faster? To spoof your IP address?
The problem you are mentioning I am not positive if there is a way to do it. Yet if you ask a more specific question, I might be able to find another way as a solution

Hi ppl.

please clarify.
-
I'm not so sure that doing this will make your Internet connection any faster. This is because the connection is only as fast as the SLOWEST connection. The slowest connection is your Dial-Up so that's about as fast as it would go. Even if you did use the DSL from your office.
-
SilentAssasin64 is right. You can't somehow get the benefit of the higher speed DSL service through some such setup. As long as you're using a dial-up/56k modem, then that's just what you have. A 56K modem is only technically designed for speeds up to ... guess what ... 56K. You're trying to dream up some way of surpassing this limitation. It won't work.
-
as well as dreaming of ACTUALLY getting 56kbs...
-
Yep. FCC sets a 53K limit and rarely is that actually achieved. This was recently discussed in http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1152818312/0

FCC has no jurisdiction in the UK. :P ;D

FCC is coming to get you now, Rob. RUN!!! :o :o :o :o

Sorry if i didnt myself clear.
i just want to use my adsl conection from home . the situation is: i have a computer with a shared connection to internet by ADSL in my work , and i want access to that computer from home by telephone (dial up) in order to use that internet connection at night from my house, it's clear now? :-?
thanks
-
seahorse...... It sounds like you simply wish top access your office network from your home ....Is that correct ? And you have a adsl connection at home .
So why wouldn't you just use your adsl ( not dialup ) and connect to your office network ? Then you would enter your office network and passord and your in ...... But you need to set up your office network so your home machine is part of that network .
I am sure this is what you wish to do ,but let us know .
The confusing part was the referance to dial-up.

Yes, if you have ADSL in both places, forget about dial up.
What you need to do is set up a VPN connection between your home and your office. Please advise what network hardware you're using (routers, etc) and what server (if any) you have at the office.
-
But if you have both ADSL, then what's the point for making that connection?
You will be like putting an extension pipe of the same size.
Unless you simply want to excess your office network and not trying to have a faster connection through your office's ADSL connection (which I guess is what you are trying to do).
To solve the puzzle, please state the intention/purpose of setting up such a connection.
And what is connection speed at your house and office respectively?
-
the point is i have not adsl at home i only have a modem and i want to get access to the net of my oficce and use all its possibilities from home using the telephone line at night or week end i have no accounts in my home , i read that i can get to the net in my work, but i need to do an incoming dial up connection in the computer at work in order to access it from my house but i having problems with that task
thanks everyone
-
You Cant get the Benefits of ADSL at home, you will still be only at dial Up Speeds
and some how i get the Feeling you don't intend to Work from home, and There Fore are not looking for Access to the Office network, you just want the ADSL , and you Cant Have it.
If you want ADSL speed at home , you have to Buy ADSL at home
-
yes i know it will not be the same speed when i use the adsl at home because of the limitations of the telephone line, but anyway i could use it, beside the other possibilities of the net,. not only from my home (using my lap top) if i could make the connection i want. :-[
-
Ok! making it simpler i have a LAN at work and i want to get access to it from home,over the telephone line, and use all its possibilities, as if i were in the office, every where in the XP manual they write this is possible but nobody explain "how"to do it.
quote <You can even configure Windows XP to allow others to dial in to your computer>
<Connection Sharing (ICS), which makes it possible for multiple computers to
share a single connection to the Internet through a single computer running XP.>
....I know its not a difficult task but i cant configure the modem in the office computer to receive incoming calls and log in (also i'm not sure about how to configure the account or the connection in the office computer in order to accept remote login;
Example: you search for remote access in the windows help center, they write : to give access rights to incoming connectios you must: open "net connections" and click on "incoming connections" and after that "Net task" and "change config. of this connection" and so on..... But when i open net connections i cant find anywhere the "incoming connections " tab...!!!).
Hope is clear now.
thanks for your attention.

Okay. I think we're approaching a solution here. To summarise:
- you have dial up at home, not broadband
- you have broadband at work
- you want to connect from home to work so that you can get onto your work's network
The solution to this is VPN ("Virtual Private Networking" - which creates a private, relatively secure connection between your home and office). How you actually achieve this depends on your hardware. Do you have a server at work? Do you have a router at work? Can that router function as a VPN server, or does it have VPN passthrough capabilities? Does your work's broadband come with a static IP address?
If you are unsure of the answers, please ask your network administrator. If you don't have a network administrator, come back to us for more guidance. If you only have one computer at work, connected to the broadband, say so.

ok we are closer nowĄ
i cant do a VPN because as i told i have no accounts in my house i only have a modem. thats why my only way is the telephone line to make a connection to my oficce computer. and thats why i need to make an incoming connection with a 56k modem in the server at work.
and for now the net in my work is just begining. we have a server and a switch LinkSys and yes the broadband came with static IP address manually set.
thanks for your answer.
-
i dont know if you Saw but theres a topic about setting up a VPN, but its got to an Impass.
Altho , i think we may be able to acomidate you better.
Windows VPN settings are Pretty Easy , if its Direct PC to PC thing
-

On the contrary, VPN will work over dialup.
It will be horrendously slow though!

I think the aspect of this problem that people are missing is that, from what I understand, he doesn't have internet access at home.
It sounds like he has a modem but no dial-up service subscription to access the internet. He doesn't want to pay for internet access at home. He wants to use his modem to dial into his office network and use their access. While I'm sure this is possible, I don't have a solution. Just hoping to make the challenge a bit clearer for others.
-
Oh good grief how obtuse we've all been. :-[ I think you're right.
That just involves having a modem at the office end that can take incoming calls, and would depend on hardware available and server operating system.

And permission to do this through work. ;)
