Internet Connection Sharing SetUp

Setting up Internet Connection Sharing (Windows XP)
ICS allows two or more networked computers to share a single Internet connection. If you perform the following steps, in order , you should be able to get it right the first time.

What You Need

In order to get ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to work, you'll need the following items:
      1. At least two computers.
      2. A functioning ethernet card properly installed in each computer. Refer to the          documentation that comes with your ethernet cards for proper driver installation          and setup.
      3. If you're sharing a DSL, cable modem, or other ethernet-based Internet          connection, the computer with the connection must have two ethernet cards          installed. (Microsoft doesn't tell you about this one!)
      4. The network must be cabled correctly. 10base-T or 100base-T, category-5 patch          cables, and an ethernet hub are recommended. If you have only two computers,          you can forgo the hub, and use a Category 5 crossover cable instead.
      5. One of the computers must have a dial-up internet connection, properly set up, or          a high-speed connection, such as DSL, a cable modem, or T1.
      6. There is no minimum connection speed, but you should keep in mind that when          two users are downloading using the shared connection simultaneously (the          worst-case scenario), each user will experience half of the original performance. In          other words, you probably don't want to bother sharing a 14.4k analog modem          connection.
      7. The computer with the Internet connection must be running a version of Windows           that supports Internet Connection Sharing. (Note that the directions on this page          are for Windows XP; if you have another version of Windows, return to the ICS          main page and view the directions appropriate to your OS.)
Cabling Overview
Once you have the correct protocols and drivers set up on the host and each of the clients, the next step is to figure out the cabling. Without the internet connection, your network should look something like this:


(Naturally, the number of PCs and printers on your network will probably be different.) The next step is to figure out how the Internet Connection will be wired. For ICS to work, your setup should look like this:

Note that the Internet connection can be in the form of a phone cable plugged into an analog modem, an ethernet cable plugged into a second network card, or some other connection plugged into the appropriate card.

Setting Up the Host

The first step to setting up ICS is to configure the host, the computer with the Internet Connection that will be shared. All the other computers are called "Clients," and are discussed in the following section.
      1. Open Network Connections in Control Panel , or right-click on the My Network          Places desktop icon and select Properties .
      2. Here, you should have at least two connections listed: one for your Internet          Connection, and one for your Local Area Connection. If they're not there, your          network is not ready - install the proper hardware and software (described above)          and try again.
      3. By default, the available connections will named for the network adapters they          represent; to make things easier, I recommend renaming them as shown in this          screenshot:



      4. Right-click on the entry corresponding to your Internet connection, and select          Properties
      5. Among the installed components listed in the General tab, the following should be          checked here
            a) Client for Microsoft Networks
            b) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
      6. If you don't see one or more of these items, you'll need to add them by clicking          Install .
      7. If there are extra entries, just ignore them. The exceptions are NDISWAN or any          ATM protocols - if you encounter a problem later on, you might have to remove          these to use ICS.
      8. If you have any other Internet sharing solutions (more information) installed on          any of the machines, make sure they have been removed or disabled on each          machine.
      9. At this point, it's a good idea to make sure your current Internet connection is          operational by testing it (load a web page or something). If all is well, then you can          continue.
    10. Choose the Sharing tab, and turn on the Enable Internet Connection Sharing for           this connection option

    11. There's nothing useful behind the Settings button, so just click Ok when you're          done. That's it! (Most likely, Windows will not make you restart, although if you are          prompted, do so now.)
Setting Up the Clients
The client machines don't require any special software; just a properly installed, network-capable operating system (such as Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP - see What You Need for details), or even Unix, FreeBSD, Linux, or Mac. Do the following for each client machine that will be using the shared connection: (Note that these details are for Windows XP clients; check out the main ICS page for other platforms.)
      1. Open Network Connections in Control Panel , or right-click on the My Network          Places desktop icon and select Properties .
      2. Here, you should have at least one connection listed for your Local Area          Connection. If it's not there, your network is not ready - install the proper          hardware and software (described above) and try again. Any other connections can          be ignored, although you may want to disable them for now (right-click and select          Disable ).
      3. Right-click on the entry corresponding to your local area connection, and select          Properties .
      4. Among the installed components listed in the General tab, the following should be          checked here
            a) Client for Microsoft Networks
            b) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
      5. Next, highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry and click Properties .
      6. Choose the Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address          automatically options.
      7. Click Advanced , and make sure the various lists in the IP Settings , DNS , and          WINS tabs are all empty.
      8. Click Ok and then Ok again when you're done. (Most likely, Windows will not make          you restart, although if you are prompted, do so now.)
      9. Once these steps have been performed, Internet Connection Sharing should be in           effect, and all connected and properly configured client computers should have          access. You can test each client by loading a web page or using some other          Internet application (e.g. Ping, telnet, etc.).
Troubleshooting
Ideally, you shouldn't have to install any software or do any more configuration on any of the clients. However, this isn't an ideal world, so if this doesn't work as expected, try the following:
      1. You know that ICS is working if you have Internet access on at least one client. If          you don't, the first thing to do is to make sure the Internet connection is working          on the host computer. Conversely, if one client is working, and another isn't, it's          definitely a problem with that client.
      2. If you're sharing an ethernet-based connection, such as DSL or a cable modem,          make sure the host computer has two network cards.
      3. Go back through Setting Up the Host and Setting Up the Clients and make sure all          the necessary components and protocols are properly installed.
      4. Check to see if you have any firewall software installed on the host or clients; for          that matter, check for any installed software or settings that might be          inappropriate to the type of connection you have.
      5. If you're using special connection software for use with your DSL or cable (such as          the feeble NTS Enternet 300 software), it's best to remove it and use Windows XP's          built-in support for PPPoE.
      6. If all else fails, try uninstalling the two connections on the host computer, and then          reinstalling the necessary drivers. (This has been known to work on more than one         occasion.)
II. Setting up Internet Connection Sharing (Windows 2000)

Setting Up the Host
The first step to setting up ICS is to configure the host, the computer with the Internet Connection that will be shared. All the other computers are called "Clients," and are discussed in the following section.
      1. Double-click on the Network and Dial-up Connections icon in Control Panel , or          right-click on the My Network Places desktop icon and select Properties .
      2. Here, you should have at least two connections listed: one for your Internet          Connection, and one for your Local Area Connection. If they're not there, your          network is not ready - install the proper hardware and software (described above)          and try again.

      4. Right-click on the entry corresponding to your Internet connection, and select          Properties
      5. Among the installed components listed in the General tab, the following should be          checked here
            a) Client for Microsoft Networks
            b) NetBEUI Protocol
            c) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
      6. If you don't see one or more of these items, you'll need to add them by clicking          Install .
      7. If there are extra entries, just ignore them. The exceptions are NDISWAN or any          ATM protocols - if you encounter a problem later on, you might have to remove          these to use ICS.
