Networking Dial Up Problem

[jwatkins712]

When i networked my desktop with my brothers laptop in our home (used a crossover cable) both my comp and his laptop pull up the connection to our dial up service and automatically dial out. is there anyway to correct this problem? I'm new at networking so anything would be helpful.

Try assigning each pc a static Ip address (like 192.168.0.10) & set the default gateway as 192.168.0.1. Also make sure u can ping each other!

The one pc that has all the correct settings & so forth, on the other one u might have 2 use the Wizard & u know, tell it ur using another pc to access internet, etc.
