Once you set up your wireless network, I have no doubt that one of the first things that you do to share an Internet connection is - after all, that's why most home users have to launch a wireless network. Well, the good news is that Windows Internet Connection Sharing is in. The bad news is that built its implementation can sometimes make a bit less fun.
The problem is that the sharing of the internet connection wizard, 98 Second Edition and Windows Me will not work very well with Windows, and in some cases you can use your existing Internet connection to interrupt. The good news is that it's not so difficult to implement, as long as you do it right.
How does ICS
When you configure Internet Connection Sharing, you need to configure your computer as a "gateway" to the Internet, and then use the gateway to access Internet with other computers. In essence, the data are sent requests from the Internet through the gateway, and the responses are sent over the network ("failed") on your computer. The gateway computer is always connected directly to the Internet.
If you have trouble viewing this happens for one second that people imagine computer. We call the people's computers Bob, Fred and Alice. They are all in a bar together, but Bob is the only one who have money for drinks (we could say he has a "connection" to the bar). Fred and Alice can ask Bob to buy a drink, and Bob can bring drinks, so that they, as they normally would. At no time, however, Fred and Alice go have a drink at the bar.
Setting It Up: The Gateway
Note: This guide assumes that you have already set up your wireless network, but you have not yet connected to the Internet.
The computer connected to the modem, it is that you need to put in the first place - as a gateway, it is the internet access to all your other computers. On this computer, the Control Panel, then click Network Connections. From there you can run the Network Setup Wizard by clicking on "Setting up a home or office network.
On the wizard until you get to a screen titled "Select a connection method." On this screen you must select "This computer directly to the Internet. Other computers on the network connect to the Internet through this computer." From there you should be able to click Next again until the finish line. Say "Yes" to turn on file sharing, and printer when you are prompted.
Your computer is now ready to be a gateway to the Internet.
The Network
The next step is to configure other computers on your network so that the gateway you just created. Run the Network Setup Wizard on each computer wizard, but by this time choose "This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on the network or through a residential gateway."
If the computer is now a shared Internet connection through a dial-up connection before, then there are a few things to do - you need to change some settings to open the web browser Internet Explorer and go to the Options screen (Tools menu ). Click the Connections tab. You have to "Never dial a connection" and uncheck the three boxes: "Automatically detect settings", "Use automatic configuration script" and "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
The problem with the Internet Connection Sharing
To return to the bar for a moment, imagine Bob leaves. Oh dear. Looks like Fred and Alice can not drink anymore, is it not? The same applies to computers on your network - if the gateway computer is turned off, they will lose all access to the Internet.
This is not the only problem, however. While Internet Connection Sharing works well for web and e-mail, it can be problematic when it comes to other things. Download files from file-sharing networks, for example, or with the help of video conferencing, require you to mess around with the settings of computer bridge. After a while, it can be very frustrating. If you are in this position, you really should try a wireless router - see our article "Create Always-On Networks with a wireless router.
