I'm totally new to networking and with a whole lot of over-the-phone help have just connected my G5 to my PC via network cable and want to share files/dial-up connection with my PC.
Everything was a success except for 1 thing and it's on the PC end of the network connection.
I have AVG Free Edition and it won't update itself on the internet anymore now it has to share the dial-up.
It tries to update itself but then reports there is no dialtone, then quits.
I now connect to the internet via dial-up on the Mac, but on the PC AVG is configured to update through the dial-up connection.
In the AVG update settings are 2 options:
connect thru dial-up
or
use a proxy server.
I haven't a clue how to change AVG from updating using the dial-up connection to using a proxy server but suspect that the so called proxy server would be the Mac?
Am I correct in this assumption?
The problem remains....I don't know how to re-configure the Update Manager in AVG.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
