Windows XP: How to connect two computers using modems in Windows XP


Now I will tell newcomers about how to connect two computers using modems in XP.

To begin with, this will give you:

1. incomparably low speed connection :) Although it is also dependent on modem ...
2. You will be able to transfer files from one computer to another;
3. Play modem network games (only some will hang on the no-detstki).

Well, I immediately wanted to play your favorite Contra with a friend who lives on the other side of town? Well, then, let's get down to business!

What do we need? The very axis, straight arms and a little bit of gray matter, which flounder about in your head.

In order to connect, you must have two modems :) and two komputera, with one of them must be configured as a client, and the other - as a server.

For example, the server will be you. What to do?

Go into the properties of the network environment (where all sorts of connections are located). Went?

Great! Now

File> New Connection

connection protocol modem connection protocols add dialogue to take incoming new computer network properties window to make the client connect to the server to play your modem

Now: NEXT - a direct connection to another computer - accept incoming connections

You will see the device selection dialog that will accept incoming connections.

Put a check mark next to the type of your modem. By the way, this tick has a big role. It is necessary to disable the annoying squeak modem for all calls to your phone. You just need to remove it.

Click Next

You will be asked whether you want to allow VPN-connection, put ENABLE and click Next. Asked to select users who are allowed to connect. Click Add, and add access for a loved one, but no ... not for himself but for other

Click Next, and now you must choose the protocols. I advise you to choose the following:

TCP / IP Internet protocol ... By the way, let's just set it up. Select it and click Properties. It set the following parameters:

Then add a "service access to files and printers Borg networks" and "Client for Borg networks" - is if you want to share files. In general, becoming, not hurt :)

And yet the protocol NWLink IPX / SPX / NetBIOS-compatible transport protocol and click Next again :)

Company Borg will congratulate you on the successful completion of the work and suggest you click on knopulku READY. Think about this before !!! Who knows what might happen? While there, then nothing will happen, so feel free to PUSH!

That's all you have done yourself a server!

Now set up on another computer, a new connection, nothing, in principle, no different from an Internet, only the number must be specified serversky + add the missing records, and in the last step before completion, will enter a dialogue login and password that to write, I think , you know...

All! Click Connect, we listen to the heart-rending sounds, and OPS! Black box ... no, this is not the blue screen of death, it is the connection to the remote server window. Press ENTER, the though like you can not push, and we press the Finish button. Another two or three seconds ... and you have lit the window at the bottom of the network connection! Now you can do the same thing as when you connect via LAN.
