hey all. thanks for reading this. i want to be able to access my home internet connection from my laptop at different locations (using hotspots). I could use VNC but i just want to be able to use the internet, not execute things on my computer. I want to have freerange of the web at different locations instead of blocking everything. A friend setup VPN so he can access wow from school and it works fine but im only using xp home. any suggestions?
 
could you tell me how i can use vpn to access my internet connection? i can connect to the computer but i am unable to access the internet via that connection.
 
i dont see how using VNC is very good considering i want to run applications like world of warcraft etc which would be painfully slow. i just need remote access to my home internet connection
 
Thought you said you only wanted internet usage. If you plan on gaming it really doesn't matter what you use, the latency will be cripping. VNC would be worse than windows native remote desktop but both would struggle trying to run a game online.
 
my plan is to connect to my home pc, then run the application on my laptop just using the connection. it should work if i can just use the internet. i dont want to run the app on my home pc, that would be dumb with a game like wow.
 
so what your're saying, you wanted to connect to your home computer and then use your home internet connection instead of what's currently available for your laptop to use (ex:hotspot)?
If this is what you want to do, all you have to do is create a tunnel to home network and disable split tunneling. This way all your traffic will be tunneled to your home network, then off the internet.
As to how to do this; depend on your skill lvl, and how much money you are willing to spend. Most SOHO grade routers usually have client base software that you can install on your laptop to dial in to your home network.
