Enable Internet
Connection Sharing On A Network Connection!
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a
network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this
procedure.
- To set up Internet Connection Sharing, run the Network Setup Wizard.
Important!
- Do not use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) in a network with other domain
controllers, DNS servers, gateways, DHCP servers, or systems configured for
static IP.
- When you enable ICS, the network adapter connected to your home or small
office network gets a new static IP address configuration. Existing TCP/IP
connections on the computer running ICS are lost and must be reestablished. For
example, if Internet Explorer is connecting to a Web site when ICS is enabled,
you must refresh the browser to reestablish the connection.
- To use ICS, users on your home or small office network should configure TCP/IP
on their local area connection to obtain an IP address automatically. Home or
small office network users must also configure Internet options for ICS.
Side Notes:
- To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, point to Settings, click
Control Panel, and then double-click Network Setup Wizard.
- Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network
adapters are installed on the computer.
