I have successfully setup an Aiport base station (snow) at my house to dial into Earthlink. I can initiate the dialup from my Mac, at which point my wife's HP running Windows Me can connect and use the internet...very happy both of us can surf at the same time.

However, only my Mac can initiate the the Dialup. THis is inconvient. She would like to make use of the Wireless internet access without having to have my mac around.

I am using a DELL TrueMobile 1150 Series card.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,
Ric

I thought there used to be a Windows version for doing just such a thing. hmm...

Linfidels harken! 'The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.'

There is a Unsupported Airport Admin tool from Apple for WIndows. But I couldn't find anything in that that would cause the Modem on the Airport to dial or disconnect.

Thanks,
