Network access
Updated: 23 May 2010 | 1 comment
I searched, but couldn't find this setup discussed.
Say I have three computers (XP) networked together and one has a dial-up modem with pcAnywhere host running. I can dial-in to this host and control it, but how can I control either of the other two computers on the network without also controlling the dial-up host? In other words, if I install pcAnywhere on all three, I can dial-in to the host and then use the host as a remote to control one of the other two computers, but this would tie up two of the three computers. Is there any way to setup the dial-in host as a network access point so that it can be used as a pass-thru and still allow the users to use this computer? Routers and firewalls are not an issue here.

In therory you could set up internet connection shareing
If your host was dialed to the interent you could set up internet connection shareing with microsoft windows and then if you had an access server you could dock the 3 to your access server to connect to them. The speed on this would be so slow that I don't think you could maintain an active connection to more than one at a time.
You could also look at setting up the pca gatway on your one machine but I don't think it will allow modem connections in I think that it must be a network connection it. The gateway runs on one machine and then allows you to connect to any one on the network through the gateway. But you can still use the gatway computer with out interuption.
Cheers.
