Ok, a request from my guestbook from
Justin Anderson ("wealthy and loving it") who wants to know how to
hook up 4 computers to share the same phone based 'Net connection.
First off, look into something better than dialup access! Especially
if you're talking about multiple people online at once in a LAN-kinda-way. If you do
that (with, like say a Cable Modem or some other ethernet based connection)
you can get yourself a Linksys Router w/ Switch...or better yet, get the wireless version like Mo and I have. (Anyone want to buy our old non-wireless 4 port version?) Neither version is too expensive.
If you're stuck with dialup, I dunno. We use to run software called WinProxy, then WinRoute (which needed less configuration per PC) with 2 network cards in one PC. You might still need a router or something.
Better yet, you're rich, dude! Go down to your local CompUSA or whatever and
see if you can't throw some money at someone to do it for you! (I think they have services like that.) Or better yet, get a smart high school or college student to do it.
Funny of the Moment
If I were a maitre d', I'd suddenly scream at my customer, 'You want the
booth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE BOOTH!' That is some funny-ass maitre d'
humor, I don't mind telling you!
Link of the Moment 2001 and 2010 were on the other day...
found this
in-depth "Underview" website. Lots of "behind the scenes" material, and some interesting thoughts under the Hal! link...poor thing was just misunderstood.
