Question:

1.What particular hardware or software that i need to done this?
2.How to Setup that particular hardware and software?

Thanks again in advance.

Connect a modem as normal to a serial port, or a PCI slot, as appropriate. Run the Make New Connection Wizard - the location of this will vary depending on the Operating System - and the wizard will run through the set up with you. Mostly set everything at default, particularly if the dial in user is using the same system.

If you do not have remote access server installed as part of Windows, again, depending on the Operating System, you may have to install it from the Windows CD. But if the Wizard allows you to set up an Incoming connection, all should work with the settings at default.

Then set up a dial up connection using the wizard on the remote computer and that ought to about do it.

If I have missed anything, e-mail me and tell me!!

Cheers,
Alan

If your friend connects to you using a dial-up phone line, he will be limited to a 56k connection and will not be able to benefit from your DSL.
He might just as well dial-up from his location.

Dusty, I think you missed it.
This sounds like he is running a mini dialup ISP, as an employee benefit, for those without an internet connection. Seen this before.
Yes Ans. #1 sounds good.
