Not really, I remembered that you can share a dialup via LAN. I remembered when I was small, my teacher, at a computer learning centre used to use Dialup and had 4 computers connected via a router to the dialup internet connected to one of the computers. However, that's over a WIRED network. I think with some configuration, like on the computer connected with a dialup modem and the LAN, it should work.

However, due to the fact that dialup technology is obsolete and barely anyone I know uses it, I dun have any answer to this and that it is nearly impossible to find any Internet sources to show you how to do it.

I did this once back when I had dial-up. I set my computer as a proxy server and connected the other computers over the LAN to my computer. Of course, it was painfully slow, but it did work... Google manged to load in like 1 minute!

Of course its possible..what do you think we did before broadband?
Been using Wingate or Proxy+ to share dialups prolly before most of you wore long trousers )))

Dialup to wireless e-mail connection
Dialup On Wireless Network

Have been using Outlook/Verizon with dial-up connection. Now I went to wireless. Everything works fine; can receive and send e-mail via Netmail Central, however I can only RECEIVE messages via Outlook but not SEND.
It took me long to learn to use Outlook so I want to stick with it.

It can be done

Replying to unimatrix



EVDO USB Wireless modem is a dialup connection with 1.4Mbps download and works great.

Can I Bypass The Wireless 802.11x protocol?
Dialup On Wireless Network

I got a 802.11g wireless card in my laptop, and my neighbours settings are so that only 802.11b can connect, is there anyway I can bypass the protocol ?

-question by Brandon

Brandon, I'm not sure that I really understant your question.
If your neghbours settings are fixed to 802.11b, you may ask them to change these settings.
If they don't agree to change their settings, you should not try to bypass their security settings, this is not honest.

I was under the impression that you could set up two types of networks, one of which being "Ad-Hoc."

This, as many people touched on, uses a connection provided by a computer to be shared to other computers on the network.

This would require you have a dial up modem as well as an ethernet card to connect to your router (outgoing). This outgoing connection would go into the router's incoming line, you would have pre-configured the router for ad-hoc networking. As far as my understanding, this allows the router to share the computer's connection, even dial-up, through the LAN ports on the hub. Though I haven't tried at my own home, a wireless network would still exist if the router was Wi-Fi capable, and if configured for Ad-Hoc would broadcast this dial-up connection as well. This would work best in terms of dial up with a 56k or an ISDN modem (128k), otherwise unless you would just be accessing the wi-fi from a laptop, example, you might be able to deal with a 28k modem.. but that would be pushing it.

Without this, you would need as unimatrix described a router that provided dial-up capabilities, while these might be novelties, I'm sure you can find one online somewhere.

Edit:

Damn, this post moved fast, I changed classes at university and like six extra posts had popped up, glad to see some other users knew there was certainly a solution to this issue.

If they are running a 802.11b network on a 802.11b router, then unless that router is capable to support g cards (unless your card is a B/G router card-- you need to check the specifics) it would make sense that you are unable to connect. Check with your card company if there is a setting you need to change to enable your card to connect to a B network. Otherwise your neighbors should purchase a B/G router that is compatible with both your system and theirs.

If you are pirating internet from them unknowingly I cannot condone that you do this, however you might be able to get them to upgrade for you by anonymously leaving a better router on their doorstep.

Good luck resolving this,
The Doc.
