Oni Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Well I made a wireless network with my pc computer and my laptop. Im on the laptop now and don't use the pc much. I want to be able to make the pc dial up when I want to use the internet through my wireless connection. I also have a printer connected to my pc that i would also like to use from my laptop... I also have a scanner but what would I do if i connect a scanner to my laptop So... I made the network from my pc and copied the details down to a program called Boingo. I connect to it fine it says connected, signals best and everything BUT I don't know what I can do with the connection! So I have the connection, but I have NO IDEA how to use it at all, and I wanna use the printer and dialup so I can have wireless internet/printer access!That'd be nice for anybody So does anyone know how I can make these things work? I think Boingo uses VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect, but Boingo is a own wireless isp so I don't know what my connection with my pc is called... Help me pleasee!

Matt Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 TheLetterK.I think he wants to know how he can connect to his printer from his laptop wirelessly, and connect to his modem from his laptop wirelessly (I guess in the sense of wifi).M@ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
