Setting up MN700/MN720 with dial-up

I have a Microsoft MN700 base station and MN-720 Adapter and want to set up
a wireless network that shares the Dial-up connection on my desktop, via
ICS. I have gone through the set up procedures that come with the unit but
they all refer to having broadband. After setting it up initially and
actually getting a connection once the software recommended an update but
after downloading it will not install and now I am having problems
connecting.

Is there a specific way to install the wireless router if I do not have
broad band so I can use file and printer sharing as well as ICS? All I
need actually is to use the base station as a switch/router so I can then
use the internet connection sharing.

Also, when trying to install the firmware update I either get a message that
it can not work due to a firwall being on (none are on) or once it ran it
just kept going for a very long time and did not finish. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Tony

You can do similar steps as described in this Knowledge Base article for
satellite services which use a USB modem:

Keep in mind, this use is unsupported for the Microsoft devices. (But it
works.)
