Out in the country, only dial up available. Using an airport base station to connect the networked computers to the internet, both Mac's and PC's.
The problem is of course, the PC's in that they are forever trying to connect to the internet and causing the modem on the base station to dial out. Between MSN, peer to peer, antivirus, auto updates etc, the base station would be connected continually. I can set the base station to manually connect, and of course the powerbook has a setting to manually initiate a connection, but I've found nothing similar on Windows XP to manually initiate the base station to dial out.
Has anyone found a solution to this situation that doesn't include unplugging the phone line or turning off the wireless network interface on the PC's?
