aussiecanuck46 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Perhaps all you need are wireless NIC's in each of the two new machines, installing the appropriate software, and of course moving those machines to your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) How do i connect outside computers 2 my router.This is the ? i should have asked from the begining. Edited April 7, 2006 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) do the 2 modem based PCs in question already have internet service?If so, then you need to replace your router with a VPN router, or put 3rd party firmware on the Linksys router (I assume a Linksys WRT54G is what you have) that supports VPN service. DD-WRT is firmware I'd recommend.Then you need to install VPN software (openVPN perhaps) on each of the 2 PCs to allow them to connect to your network from the outside.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 No let me rephrase I have 6 computers and want to add 2 more additional to make 8 all together. Main computer connects to the router and modem, the other 5 are wireless.The 2 additionals i want to add uses modems.They are about a 15 mile radius away.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Is there another way of adding outside computers 2my router network without using VPN Clients,because I also have Win98SE usersto connect but they don't have dial up for Vpn Clients.

rendrag Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 it depends... what are they trying to accomplish when they connect to your network? Filesharing? gaming? e-mail?There are a couple options, though nothing is as secure as VPN, and they require at a minimum, 1 unused PC connected to your network.You could use something like XP Pro's remote desktop (the client is available for win98 free from MS's site), or pcAnywhere, which is a little more secure than remote desktop. The outside clients would connect through your router to the unused PC on your network, and it would almost be like sitting at that internal PC. If the 2 users will connect simultaneously, you either need 2 PCs, or some kind of virtualization program (vmware is a popular option) running on the main PC that allows 2 OS'es to run simultaneously, so that each of your clients connects to a different "PC".Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much. if so, we'll try to clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) It would be just for gaming and file sharing.If i set up ICS on the XP & 98SE computers will the outsiders connect 2 the router Edited May 10, 2006 by PROBLEMCHYLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
