First of all, I know I can use my dial up account to connect on another computer away from home if there is a line available, what id like to know is if 2 people can connect using the same password and username at the same time.\n\nSay I have an internet dial up account. ive got an user id and password.\nWhat if my friend in the same country but in another city had  a computer, a telephone line, but didnt have an account and wanted to use it at the same time as me?

It depends on your ISP.  Some will just charge you more for having 2 at the same time.  Others will break the first connection when the second gets on, but most ISPs do something to discourage the practice because it's "freeloading."

There should be a way for you to block the other user.  I did it today.  When you put your mouse over each individual name does a box pop up? If so, on the bottom of the box does it say "you appear online to this member"? or something else if something else use the drop down box to change it to the setting you like.  OR  Try right clicking on the persons name and go to "stealth settings"  and click on Permanently offline.  If you need more direction let me know

Supposedly Yahoo is recording IP addresses and two different users can't use this on the same computer.  But you could definitely do it from work and home and give yourself more points or be a jerk on one and good on the other.  male and female, etc.  I don't know why anyone would go through the trouble unless they're really bored.\n\nBut yahoo apparently also suspends people who hook up.  If you are responding and getting points over and over from another user that's going to show. \n\nI have made good friends with someone who gives some of the best answers I've seen and I'm now purposely not giving her points just to avoid that situation.\n\nCan't have too many groups forming up.  Then we'll start having gang wars and stuff.  Could get ugly.\n\nNo matter what you do someone has to cheat it.  It's some peoples nature.  Their mother still loves them.

Your question was hard to follow.  Are you simply trying to access your desktop computer via your laptop from your home or office?  I think your trying to access it from somewhere else, I recomend http://www.hamachi.cc/ , just install it on both computers and you'll instantly see eachother as if you were on the same local network.

remote access ability refers to the ability to allow another computer to call in to access the server . .\n\nIt allows you to access your home or office PC from any other internet enabled pc in the world, and it's pretty simple to set up.\n\nWhy not try "go to my pc"?. . I haven't used it, but the tech celebs hawk it like it's the best thing since sliced bread, and say they use it. . \n\nto use it you'll need to leave your computer on all the time (the one at home or your office (the one you're trying to connect to remotely from someplace else). . and it will have to be online the whole time, too. . \n\ngoogle "go to my PC" to find the amazon link to see how much it is. . (expense)

you can use but you require internal modem for dialup and modem/router for broadband.sometimes you may face problem because when you are connectr as dialup and someone calls you or you want to make some call then you will be disconnected automatically and speed of connection for dialup decreases very much.

Well either way you are sharing the same line so what do you mean? Get a 2nd line. I don't think you'll get to much problem sharing the line with that setup though. Depending on what you are doing.

I think he might be talking about yahoo's automatic prompting for passwords after a time.\n\nI dont think you can change that. Yahoo does it for you.\n\nAs for linking with another computer dropping to a command prompt and typing "netstat -a" should tell you who is linked.. but you need a little understanding of it to get any usefull information.

Use the Internet sharing wizard on XP - you will be disappointed by the performance of a shared dial up thought :-(

You can use a flash or thumb drive to do what you want or just connect the other computer to your internet service.  Does your internet service come with a router to allow connection sharing?  You can get one and connect the other computer to it and run both on same connection.  Not as hard as it sounds.

You just have to login with your yahoo id and password, (the way you logged into Yahoo Answers) and you would log out the other user. However if you both want to remain logged in at the same time, you can log off the computer and switch to a different user of the computer, then login to Yahoo messenger in that user's profile.\n\nHope this make sense to you ;-)

You need either 2 phone lines, a dial-up router, an external dial up modem that connects to your computer via ethernet and a broadband router, or broadband internet and a broadband router. The 2 choices there that are easiest are broadband internet and a broadband router, or 2 phone lines. Macs and pcs connect to the internet the same way, and the same router will work for both of them, in case you were wondering.

For Windows 95 and 98, the accounts mean nothing.  \n\nYou can create more and more accounts, and still have access to everything.    Just type in a new name, and hit OK.  When it asks for a password, just leave it blank and hit OK again.  Poof, you've created an account with no password. \n\nThe account and password thing was only used when you logged into a network...  it serves no purpose. \n\nSo forgetaboutit. \n\nGood luck

Which account? \n\nIf it is something like an AOL account, you can usually check the times of dial-up usage. \n\nIf it's an e-mail account, your best indication are often the read/unread message markings -- if you ever get messages marked as "read" that you never did read, someone is using it.\n\nThe best way really is not to worry if someone is using it -- just change your password, and make the new one strong (at least 8 characters long, no common words, at least 2 numbers and 2 non-alphabet characters).

That's typical of dial up service, on Windows 98 computers. with later computers, you'd still lose your internet connectin, but you wont get teh freezing.  There is sa device, that allows a computer to be online with out interfering with the phone, but I'm not sure how it works, or what's it's called. But someplace I some times vounteer, used to have one.

Every computer requires a unique address called the IP accress for connecting to the Internet.  Its like a home, every home needs a specific address so that the postal system can forward postal mail.  Earlier routers (as the one that you have) may not allow multiple IP allocation so you may not be able to use the router with multiple computers.  However, what you can do is set up a home wireless computer.  The main computer connects to the Internet and other computers connect wirelessly to the main computer so that the main computer acts as the Internet proxy.\n\nFor more info, go to this website:\n\nhttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1428
