HOW TO SHARE INTERNET?

Organizations with networks that include a connection to the Internet have hubs and routers to enable all the users to share the connection. For security, they'll also have at least one computer dedicated to being a proxy server or firewall of some kind. This is not a trivial matter to set up. Before Windows XP, you had to do something very similar at home to share a connection and make it secure while doing so. Most people didn't bother because their dial-up connections were made intermittently and they didn't feel that they were online long enough at any one time to be at risk.
However, now there are many home users with always-on Internet connections such as DSL and cable modems. Without protection, a computer that's always connected to the Internet is a sitting duck for malicious hackers.
Windows XP Professional and Home Edition come with two great services, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). ICS and ICF allow a home user to share an always-on connection with security and without buying a license for expensive firewall software. Even a dial-up link can benefit from ICS and ICF, providing network address translation, addressing, and name resolution services for all the computers on your network plus security.
Setting Up Internet Connection Sharing
You will need to designate a Windows XP computer as the host. This computer must have two network adapters, one for your internal network and one for the Internet connection. Before attempting to enable ICS, verify that the host computer has a working connection to the Internet through the network card connected to the cable modem or DSL line, or on the network connection associated with the modem. The easiest way to enable ICS is to use the Network Setup Wizard, by following these steps:
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
2.
Click Next until you see the Select a connection method screen.
3.
Click This computer connects directly to the Internet, and complete the wizard to install ICS.
This method has several advantages in that the wizard automatically detects the connection to the Internet, configures Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), bridges multiple network adapters connected to your home network and creates a log of information about the configuration named nsw.log in the Windows folder.
Turning on ICS manually is almost as easy as using the wizard except that you need to create the bridge for multiple network cards before enabling ICS. (See an earlier column, Building Network Bridges for more information on how to use the bridging capability in Windows XP.) Then take these steps:
1.
In Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections and then click Network Connections.
2.
Click the local area network (LAN) connection or the dial-up networking connection that you want to share (that is, the one that connects to the Internet), and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
3.
Disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks by clearing the check boxes shown in Figure 1. This step is extremely important. Never leave these items enabled for any network card that is directly connected to the Internet (see sitting duck, above).

4.
Click the Advanced tab, and select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.
Figure 2
5.
You can enable or disable the allowing of other users to control the connection—users don't need to be able to control the connection to use it.
6.
Under Internet Connection Firewall, select the Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box for this network card, unless you have another firewall between the computer and the Internet. This is very important.
7.
Click OK, and Internet Connection Sharing will be enabled.
Note: You must have administrative rights to enable ICS. After enabling ICS, verify that Internet connectivity is still functional on the host computer before testing the client computers. Remember to leave the host computer on all the time or turn it on before the other networked computers, so the client computers can request an IP address from the host.
