Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Quixote, I emailed you back but your server booted me out as spam! :-) So, I thought I'd reply to the list and hope you see this. I access the hospital through their specific dial-up software. It's not a VPN, it's just dial-in software. I've looked and there are no options to choose along these lines.... Thanks! P.S. Wonder why my email is looked at as spam? That happens to be every once in awhile! Thanks! networking > > > >Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 06:26:45 -0400 > > > > > > > >Hi, > > > > > > > >Can some of you tell the rest of us how you network your PCs > together? > > I > > > >want both my PCs to be able to access my cable connection for > Internet > > use. > > > > I've no idea of what hardware/software I'd need to buy.

That can happen for any number of reasons, and is usually something over which you have no control. Some anti-spam programs work on the basis of a blacklist, where certain domains are tagged as spam because so much spam comes from, or through, that ISP. If this were the case, I suspect it would be happening to you more than just occasionally, and just about the only recourse would be to switch providers. More likely, your occasional message is being tagged as spam because it is either (A) very short [this alone will trigger a lot of spam filters], or ( contains a few words that are spam " triggers " [seemingly innocent words like " program, " " software, " " prescription, " and a plethora of others, because they also show up with great frequency in known spam messages]. Even mail from yahoogroups will automatically be tagged as potential spam by many of the dumber spam filtering systems. If you're lucky, the folks to whom you are writing on a mailing list such as this one who also have spam filtering/blocking in place have also had the presence of mind to whitelist any mail coming from the list, or which the list tag -- ]NMTC] -- in the subject line, as my mailer is set up to do: X-Text-Classification: ham X-POPFile-Link: <http://127.0.0.1:8080/jump_to_message?view=popfile513286=57.msg> X-PMFLAGS: 34095616 0 1 PNWRR4UW.CNM X-AC-Weight: [####] (Whitelisted) -9999 X-CC-Diagnostic: In short (kinda late for " in short " now, ain't it?), it's pretty much out of your control and the onus is upon the folks with the spam filters to make sure that they're up to par and not causing too many false positives.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 you are now talkikng about sophisticated signal splitting, of which it is no longer cheap to do. It is easier to use 2 computers, than to split the signal for the use of one. You will have conflicts in their use. More than likely you PC will not recognize both modems, as they have to communicate with the signal to receive, as well as send. It depends on your budget, feasibility and most of all necessity.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Karl, Other people on this list, though, have said that they are able to use the two at the same time, and I don't think they have anything all that advanced or sophisticated on their PCs! Well, not a big deal. It's one of those, " Sure wish I could.... " rather than " I have to.... " !!!! Thanks for your help! networking > > >Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 06:26:45 -0400 > > > > > >Hi, > > > > > >Can some of you tell the rest of us how you network your PCs >together? > >I > > >want both my PCs to be able to access my cable connection for >Internet > >use. > > > I've no idea of what hardware/software I'd need to buy.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Funny about that spam deal. I have a spam trap but it was not in there or I could just set the address to trusted.
