Question for the techno geeks #2...
« on: November 21, 2008, 12:22:05 PM »
So I bought this little computer for my eleven year-old daughter-

And I will say it is absolutely brilliant and if you are looking for a first computer for a kid or even a more portable one for yourself, I don't think you can go wrong (can you say XP?).

The problem lies in the fact that it doesn't have a dial-up modem built into it.  I plan to use a DUN via a bluetooth dongle to use my cell phone as a modem but there is no DUN option in the connection wizard.  I can pair the phone to the comp no problem, but establishing a internet connection is impossible without a DUN option.  I've been to the MS download site and can't find what I'm looking for.  Does anyone know a url where I can go to get a DUN driver?
