MT,
You can use ICS (Inertnet Connection Sharing - A
windows utility) to utilise the dial-up connection of one of your
PCs via an AP used as a 'bridge'. It works in a master-slave type
setup where the information is passed from the connected master to the slaves.
It is fairly easy to set up through the Windows network setup wizard in
XP.
Heres a tutorial website for whichever OS you are
using:
If you want to set up a network between your
machines you need to have MS client enabled in your adaptors properties with the
same workgroup name.

Howdy folks!
I am working on setting up a home network utilizing a D-Link
614+ AP a D-Link 520+ PCI adaptor all connected to the
desktop computer.
The adaptor on the laptop is a Prism and is not putting forth the effort
to communicate with the desktop.
I am wanting to communicate between the two computers utilizing the AP as
the AP is mounted in a central location for better signal reception
around the house. I have the software setup for "Infrastructure" mode
and the SSID is the same for both computers, yet they refuse to "see" one
another.
I do not have DSL/Cable (not available in these parts) and
would like to use the dial up connection between the two if
possible.
To sum it up,
How can I get these two computers talking through the AP?
Thanks
MT
