hoobie Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 How can I connect a laptop to a server from a remote location without using an analog line or wireless connection? Any ideas? Quote
leezard Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 There has to be some type of connection to pass data, whether it is a wireless or wired connection. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Hi, As leezard said, its the only way, either via a line, or wireless. I am not sure what you have in mind though Jim Quote
Twisted Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 How can I connect a laptop to a server from a remote location without using an analog line or wireless connection? Any ideas? heh. magic? It simply isn't possible. You have to have one of the 2 types of connections. Either a line connection or a wireless connect. Quote
Lianna Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 hoobie - Gimme some more detail here of the scenario you invision. For example... I'm out in the wilderness with my cell phone and laptop and want to connect to my server at work. ???? I'm guessing that you refer to wireless as the 802.11b or g 'short-range' wireless and you are looking for something that will work in a more "remote" location? Gimme a bone! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 2 way satelite is still wireless. Even telepathy is wireless. It isnt possible to connect a laptop to another computer without the use of wireless or wires. It's like trying to drive a car without letting the tires touch anything. Quote
jslagle Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 drive a car without letting the tires touch anything. When my brother and I were in high school we tried and tried but were never able to keep all four wheels off the ground for more than a few seconds Quote
leezard Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 lol, me and my best friend built a camaro that did a good job of keeping the front two wheels off the ground Quote
jslagle Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 they didn't make cameros and firebirds when I was in high school The mustang came out the year before I graduated. This was a 56 chevy coupe with a 389 pontiac block with 3 dueces (HO Tri Power) and a 4.11 rear end. We put the chevy crossed flag 265 emblems on it Quote
TCH-Rob Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I suppose with enough thrust and good aerodynamics you could do it for a bit but still, you'd never make your intended destination. Quote
hoobie Posted August 21, 2003 Author Posted August 21, 2003 I left something out...there is a line but it is a digital PBX line...is there any way to connect through that line? Thanks! Quote
TCH-Don Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Yes that is possible, a search of google for Analog to Digital Adapter pbx internet found many options like this one. www.yourmobiledesk.com/products/proddetail.cfm?prodID=4316&catID=na&subcatID=na&sscatID=na&mfrID=na there many more. hope this helps.

TCH-Dick Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 turtle beat me to it, and he is right you can use a digital to analog converter to convert the digital signal to something your modem or NIC can understand. Quote
TCH-Don Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 You are welcome, glad we could help. Don't be a stranger, let us know how it works out. Quote
