No, to be honest I have never even tried it, just get to my w/s and do what I have to do. But now that you asked, I am going to try sharing the internet connection and see if i can. Will let you know.

When you connect to the RAS server are you able to connect to the internet through the RAS server without taking control of the RAS server? Or does this setup just allow you to access a shared folder remotely located in the RAS server? Chris Ruggeri wrote:no, I dial into a RAS server in house and then connect to it via ip, although I could dial an isp, but I didn't think I would gain any performance then.

When you connect to your work computer, do you have to connect to your ISP first before you dial out to your work computer?

I always connect to my xp pro machine @ work after I dial up via remote desktop connection to browse the web just for the performance increase( work has a t1 and we only have dial up in our tiny little town and I have no line of sight to get a wireless connection :( ). My apology if that was useless info for you.

Aren't you just describing a way to remotely access the server? I am not interested in accessing the server. I just want the server to share its internet connection remotely. Chris Ruggeri wrote: All you should need to do is go to system properties and click on the remote option, and under remote desktop allow users to connect to this computer. I have the XP firewall turned off and allow our firwall to handle security. There should not be anything more to it. The only issue with XP pro is it only allows one connection @ a time. At least, that is the only functionality I have been able to get it to work so far.

Maybe the gurus in this group could add some suggestions. Someone asked me if it's possible to connect to one of his computer in his internet cafe not to access the computer remotely and not for the speed but to take advantage of it's internet connection (unlimited DSL). So effectively the remote computer would become an ISP of sorts albeit with just one client. I told him it is possible coz someone told me a while back that XP has a built-in way to do this. I told him to setup an account with the remote server for the client computer. But as to how to set up the remote server, I don't exactly know how to go about it. Anyone has any ideas? Was I wrong to suggest that this is possible? Owner/Moderator of "My Computer Headaches" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mycomputerheadaches/. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
