AI Thread Summary
To network two computers using a dial-up connection, it is essential to clarify the setup, including whether a modem is available and the operating systems in use. Key considerations involve determining if the goal is Windows file sharing or setting up TCP/IP. If the computers are already networked via the internet or a local network with assigned IP addresses, it may be more efficient to connect through that medium instead of using dial-up. Additionally, it's important to specify whether each computer uses a separate phone line for internet access or if they are directly connected to each other's modem via a phone line.

First off, this should probably be in the Computer Science or Technology forum, not homework (unless this is a homework problem, in which case you should show your attempt at a solution). A mod will probably be by to move this to one of those forums.

Next off, do you have a modem? Are you actually dialing out? More importantly, which operating system are you actually using? Are you attempting to do windows file sharing? Set up TCP/IP?

If the two computers are already networked, either through the internet, or through a local network, and they have IP addresses, it might be a whole lot easier to connect through this medium instead.
 
Would these two computers use different phone lines to the Internet or do you mean that the two computers are connected to each other’s modem by a phone line?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
