Normally I'd say Vanilla ate it, but if your connection is as bad as you say, it just might not have gotten through.
Did you know that Bill & Teds Excelent Adventure originally wanted to use a van for a time machine, but they Decided that was too similar to back to the future so they went with a phone booth which is totally different from doctor who (not)?

Lazuli: I remember doing it with RealPlayer over a decade ago, but now? I have no idea. If it did work, the resolution would be awful (240p at best) and it would probably slideshow.
As for the wifi thing...I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying you want to be able to use the dialup connection over the wifi? I'm pretty sure Internet Connection Sharing can do that.
I remember when I was a little kid I didn't know what "profanity" meant and there was a list of rules in the school bus of which "no profanity" was one and I never knew what they meant by that.
No, I'm saying I want to be able to use my wi-fi network (which exists and works fine, but is forcedly inaccessible thanks to PenTeleData), and am asking if a proxy would let me do that.
I disclaim that I have no real idea of how proxies even work, so...

Your internet is down, as you've said, but your wi-fi is still up. In order to use a proxy, your internet would need to be up, and in order to access the internet, you'd need to connect to your wi-fi....
Ouroboros. That's what you're suggesting, I think.
So, if the download speed given by Opera's downloader bar can be trusted, I am currently operating on an internet running at about 2KB/s.
That seems like
impossible. On several levels.

Basically. But what I'm asking is if I could use one connection (the dial up) to connect to the other with a proxy.
Probably an incredibly stupid question, I"m sorry.
Ouroboros. That's what you're suggesting, I think.
So you want to be able to access your wi-fi network through the dialup? Yeah, that won't work. It's better to do it the other way around. If the desktop machine isn't on the wi-fi itself, though, it may be a little tricky.
See, last week or so when we first got told our internet was being shut off, my mom wanted to switch to NetZero, as she was apparently convinced that "modern dialup" was as fast/faster than our real internet.
No matter how technologically dumb I may be, I take solace in the fact that I'm not my mom.
Unless all you ever download is text, then no, it's not. It might get a little faster over time if they install something like Squid (a caching proxy) on your machine, but otherwise, dialup is dialup, and it doesn't go any faster than 53kbit/s down/33.6 kbit/s up. (By comparison, my FiOS here is 35 Mbit/s up and down. That's over a thousand times faster.)

This is on a laptop that's incidental to the whole thing. I don't use our desktop.
Weirdly, I seem to be blocked from using other wi-fi networks too. I tried getting on Pinkwillow, which is a nearby network I can usually get a weak but viable signal from, and it gave me the same status it gives me as our network when it's blocked ("Connected -- No Internet Access")

Well, even I suspected that much. But good luck convincing this woman.
Incidentally, I don't believe you were around earlier when I brought it up, but my stepdad is convinced he can rig a wi fi "antenna" out of a Pringles can. Is that a thing?
There was a time when I thought "stupid" and "ain't" were swear words.
Lazuli: Yes, it is, and it really is called a Cantenna. The idea is that it's pretty much like a satellite dish; wi-fi uses the 2.4 GHz microwave band (the same as microwave ovens do, only a lot less powerful and a lot more precise) and so you can focus the beam the same way if you know what you're doing.

Yep, you can rig up an antenna out of a pringles can. I made a wi-fi antenna out of a bud lite can so the guard shack could get some internet back when I was in the Corps. Worked pretty well, actually

apples
:D
tummy rumble
Getting greedy cause he said he
had another sick flow
So I had to hollaback,
guess I didn't get enough
Still feel the Wonderland, Alice & the tick tock
If you give me a clap,
I'm gonna give an encore
Don't want it to end,
I wanna skank some more
Im tripping on the best dream that I never had
I guess behind the orange curtain is not so bad
From the West Side of Anaheim,
a small world after all
Hanging out at the hotel,
selling makeup at the mall
Making out to "Purple Rain",
just like everybody else
Dame un beso, now stop,
I'm trying to save myself
In the ordinary calling girl way
Back in the 714 days
Trying to figure what I wanna be
Hanging in the garage, me and ND

These are a few of my favorite things
Still rollin' cause the "Sound Of Music"
I'm nothing better than a great big huge hit
You know I'd pay you just to let me write,
dance, and sing
I know im living the "E" ticket dream
For a girl from O.C., it's almost unheard of
So I wanna thank you all so much for the love
(especially my girlfriends)
Flew down to meet P,
make a hurricane in Miami
Working with him,
im gonna get myself another Grammy
I got the L.A.M.B.,
and he's rocking the Ice Cream
Blend it together,
something fresh and kinda inbetween
Writing down my feelings is something that I love
So I don't really give a fuck
The music don't come in no color
It's time to move on, hit you with the chorus

no, I just posted it in the wrong thread because I'm stupid.
is it at all possible to watch a livestream on a dial up service?
I don't even really care about seeing it in real time. I just want to see it at all.

I remember playing this game a lot. Never knew what to do, really, but had fun.
Blowing up the White House was fun, anyway...

The hoop snake?
I wonder if the library has wi-fi
probably not, given the technophobia there.

That's it! Install squid on your machine!
