<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In my house have a Windows XP (home edition) PC (192.168.0.10) which speaks to my router (192.168.0.1) for internet access via ADSL.<br />
<br />
I want to connect a incoming calls modem to the house based XP machine so that when I am out with a laptop I can dial up the house and gain normal internet access just like when I dial an ISP.<br />
<br />
The big advantage is that rather than pay 5p per minute for an 0845 ISP number, I can dial my normal landline for 0p per minute!<br />
<br />
The connectivity is notionally as follows:<br />
<br />
LAPTOP-MODEM------MODEM-XP<wbr />_HOME(192.<wbr />168.0.10)-<wbr />---Lan----<wbr />(192.168.0<wbr />.1)ROUTER(<wbr />Real IP Address)---------Internet<br />
<br />
So....... can this be done on XP Home Edition - any pointers? &nbsp;Thanks

Using a home based PC as a dial up Point Of Presence

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
