I have bought a laptop and as well as my usual connection
from home I would like to take my laptop to my mothers
house, just plug it into her phone line and go on the
internet from there. How do I make a new connection
putting in her telephone number please. I did this on an
old computer using windows98 but I cant find where to
enter my mothers phone number in windowsXP.
thankyou
 
You need to get to the Network Connections folder (right click on My Network
Places, then choose Properties), and then create a new connection.
File->New Connection in the NC folder will get you started. Choose "Connect
to the Internet", and then "set up my connection manually", and in a couple
more pages you get to enter that phone number... Just to be clear though,
you probably will be entering *your* ISP's access number (or your mother's
ISP's access number), not your mother's phone number.

Hope that helps,
Sumit
