Is it possible to share an internet connection via Infra Red?
I have two laptops. One is good and has modem + IR port. The other one has seen it's best (and worst) years and modem was damaged by surge. It has a working IR port. I'd like to access internet by sharing connection with good laptop via IR. Is this possible? Both machines are running on XP Pro.
Disclaimer: I have not tested this. I am unsure if this will work. as expected. The first link below is one of 7 related links on 'direct-cable connections', which includes infrared. Part 6 covers setting up TCP/IP on the connection.
I walked through the steps on an XP Pro laptop (Network Connections, Create a New Connection, Set up an Advanced Connection, Accept incoming connections, chose my infrared port, do not allow VPN connections, select an appropriate user, verify TCP/IP is selected and figure out your best IP address parameters). You may also need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the good laptop, if you haven't already.
I believe you do something similar on the old laptop, but set up a direct connection.
I am assuming this laptop has no PCMCIA slot? Unsure where you are located, but used PCMCIA 10-Base-T ethernet cards for wired ethernet are pretty cheap
You may also seek an old used Xircom PE3 ethernet adapter, which connects to the parallel port.
