Hi,
I'm trying to find out if I can install my internet provider software on two computers, both using dial up connection. One computer has an external modem, the other has an internal. I have them connected with a crossover cable and two NIC's, and they are talking together fine.
I have tried installing the internet software on one of the computers and it will dial up, but it won't really connect to the web, it just gives me one of those screens with the refresh suggestion. I know that both modems are working good, so I know its not a modem problem. My other computer works fine with the internet, but the other computer just won't install, it did before when I just had one computer, but now with the other one and having them networking together, it just won't work.
I don't really want to share internet, I'm looking for both of them to be able to dial up whenever they want to, without the other one being turned on. Is this possible?
