This ROM version got rid off Wireless Dial Up and instead we have Internet Sharing. I have a windows XP., SP2 and I haven't been able to connect my laptop thru dial up networking.
Please help, I saw a comment here where somebody connected but using Vista...anybody using XP connected? Thanks Wileyska |
