[el_rob3]

hi folks,

i have ADSL line on my PC and want to access to the internet from another PC. Can me do that by connect my PC to the TEL line and dial that line No. from the another PC to connect to the ADSL on my PC.

is it possible?

Can't you just buy 2 NICs and connect the two thru cross-crimped/null CAT-5 cables. (basically, networking the two)

Then, it becomes a simple job of one PC bering the gateway to internet, and the other accessing the net thru it.

no coz the two PC's are too far from each other.

is ther any OS can do that (WinXP ,RedHat ,......)?

thnx for posting

Well, if both PCs are connected by telephone network, then the second one can dial-in to the first one. Install Dial-up-server (it is a component in Add/Remove).

But point is, it gets very costly. You should have 2 telephone lines for that - one to dial-in to the gateway, and then the gateway dials via DSL to your ISP. And neither of the two are actually being used for telephones then. IMO, this will give you huge phone bills, unless you run an EPABX between the 2 PCs.

thnx

but what about "EPABX" ?

what it mean?

epabx is a system of phone-line laying (and an instrument at the centre to manage it), such that intra-office calls are directly routed. It is an extension of the public phone-lines. So that calls from one PC to another will not be made thru your Phone-service provider. google for more info.

OK then we can say that it is a line character
