Sharing an Internet connection
Internet sharing lets all computers on the network access the
Internet at the same time using one Internet service provider
(ISP) connection.
If you are using Windows XP, go to “Setting up Internet
Explorer in WindowsXP” on page30.
If you are using Windows 2000, Windows 98SE, or
Windows Me, go to “Setting up Internet Explorer in
Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows Me” on page 34.
Setting up Internet Explorer in Windows XP
To set up Internet Explorer on each computer on your
network in Windows XP:
1 Make sure that the router is turned on and configured
as instructed by your cable or DSL provider.
2 Click
Start, right-click Internet, then click Internet
Properties. The Internet Properties dialog box opens.
Important
The Internet setup procedure uses the
Windows XP New Connection Wizard and Internet
Explorer. The example screens show those
screens that typically appear in the course of using
the wizard. If your Internet connection differs from
that used in this example, you may encounter
additional screens or screens with different
selections. Make sure that you read each screen in
the wizard and make your selections based on
your particular Internet connection situation.
If you use a browser other than Internet Explorer,
see the help provided with that browser for
configuring it for use on a network.
Important
If you are using a dial-up modem instead of a
broadband connection, see the documentation
that came with your router or access point for the
correct procedure.
