remote file sharing??

Try Netmeeting. You'll need to get your IP address before you leave the house. It probably changes everytime you log onto your ISP, unless you can get them to assign you a permanent one...perhaps they will. To get the IP for your home PC, hit Start-Run and type winIPcfg. If anybody else is listening in that has NT, you just use IPcfg. <p> <br><a href=mailto: dreamboat@nni.com> dreamboat@nni.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>

thanks for your response dreamboat but the thing is<br>i am directly dialing my home (ie. cutting out the use of<br>an ISP) so the ip address set by myself in my TCP\IP <br>settings is being used by my lan card or at least appears<br>to be being used i have tried this out by running games and directly dailing to home and then logging into the game<br>and the IP shown is the IP i have set in my protocols...<br>or are the use of games using IPX or NETBEUI protocols??
The protocol of choice if all you are wanting to do is dial into your home box and up/download some files is Netbeui.<br><br>Make sure File and Printer Sharing is enabled. Make sure the two units are on the same workgroup. Make sure you have some folders shared on the host computer.<br><br>You may also want to force the host computer to be the Browse Master by going into network properties, File/Print Sharing properties and change the Browse Master setting from Automatic to Enabled.<br><br><br>dxd
