I have a person at my office who received a laptop for Xmas, mostly uses at
his home where he connects to AOL using a phone line connection. He also
wants to use at the office (we have a T1 line-Broadband). I had assigned a
IP address to the laptop and after several attempts and calls to his cable
company (he also uses a cable connection on a desktop at his home and likes
their version of e-mail), I had him connected ok. Now something has
changed and I am unable to connect him here at the office. I have tried
many different scenarios and connections, nothing works. I'm not sure what
happened. Also, I can't seem to locate the IP address file anymore. He has
XP home ed. on the laptop. Any ideas what the problem might be or how I can
get this connection to work again.
Thanks
