alright well.
When buyin the ocmputer..i saw the Intel USB Phoneline AnyPoint networkin things for $30 each. SO...picked up a pair.
By 1:45 the system was up and running a fresh install of XP Pro on NTFS (none of this HOME on FAT32 nonsense for this family
)
By 5:00pm (this post)...everything works smooooothly.
my computer can access the net perfect.
my moms can access the net perfect w/ reasonable speeds.
If this comp isnt downloading, that computer can still download at a good 100KBps or so (downloaded some 14MB drivers) as opposed to the 120KBps here. So... a loss of 20KBps seems ok to me, right?
After A LOT of tweaking. I got the network up too. So we can share files and this printer.
So....it all works.
thanks
;edit;
spoke to soon.
Ok...this keeps happening.
IE cant go to websites over there sometimes.
This computer is fine everything.
over there, AIM connects fine.
I'm using a Proxy server I found at [link]www.analog-x.com[/link]
It works at times.
Any ideas how to make it work all the time?
Is there another proxy server i should use?
I dont really wanna use XPs internet sharing cuz thats all complicated..haha..like this stuff isnt :-D
