Hi.
I have a Win 98 computer that I want to use on the road to dialup
my Win XP Home computer that is connected to my LAN. The LAN is via
a DSL modem router combo. When I dailup I am asked for the
username, password and domain. For username and password, I use the
same as I use to log ont Win XP. Is this correct?
What do I use for domain?
Where do I find the is domain name/number? When I do an ipconfig on
the answering computer, I get: Connection-specific DNS Suffix :
domain_not_set.invalid Is that okay? or can/should I set it? How?
Once set, is that the domain I use to login from dialup?

Note that this has nothing to do with ethernet. This is a Windows
question.

That said, the "domain" you are looking for is the name of the XP
machine.

M4

This didn't work. what am I missing?

BTW - you keep asking the same types of technical questions
on how to connect to your camera box
and think it is as simple as plugging in an AC extension cord...

IT IS NOT -

If you continually ask questions, with no specific technical details,
how do you expect to get any kind of technical solution
for your technical challenge of connecting to your "camera monitoring
server" ?

Sure - we all learn as we go -
but this latest "dialup" question indicates your lack of understanding
of how computer communications really works
and different technical solutions that are available.
