Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for communicating over a network without a direct connection to the network. A process is first initiated on a first computer without a direct connection to a network. In response to the process, a second computer coupled to the first computer with a direct connection to the network is automatically identified. Data is then communicated between the first computer and a server computer over the network via the direct connection of the second computer.
