Can I kick someone off a dial-up connection if two people are using it?

Question

I have dial-up. (Yes, I know it's old)

When two computers connect to the one internet connection one of them always will disconnect at some stage. (Not purposeful)

I was wondering if anyone knew a way for User1 to disconnect User2 from the dial-up connection?

Thank you. :)

Answer 1

Not too sure what you are asking but you can both share the one connection if you want. The 2 computers just have to be networked to do this though

Not too sure what you are asking as I'm not sure whether both computers are in the same house or not. eg you shared your dial up info with someone else

Answer 2

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  You can't usually use the same connection from 2 different locations (different houses or same house, separate modems) at the same time.  The ISP will kick one of you off.  If you are networked (2 computers 'joined' together using the same modem - like in the same house - as ygwild suggests) is a different story of course.  If you mean that someone else, somewhere else is using your connection and you don't want them to, then go to your ISP and change your logon and password details and don't tell the other person what they are.  I don't think you can somehow just kick the other person off unless you are networked in which case go to the network connections settings and disable user 2's access.
