Sharing an Internet Connection

To connect a group of computers using a shared Internet connection, select one of the desktop computers

The host computer is the only computer that connects directly to the Internet. It is recommended

that the desktop computer having the fastest microprocessor and the most memory is used as the

host computer.

The host computer must be running either the Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system.

Connection sharing requires that the host computer has either a modem or another network adapter

in addition to the GC79. The modem or the additional network adapter is used to access the internet.

The GC79 is used to share the connections with other clients.

Setting up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the Host Computer

1. Connect the host computer to the internet.

2. Click the Start button.

3. Select Settings Control Panel.

4. Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.

5. If the host computer is connected to the internet using a dial-up connection, double-click

Dial-up Connection Properties Sharing, and then ensure that both Enable Internet

Connection Sharing for this connection and Enabled on-demand dialing are selected.

If the host computer is connected to the internet using a cable or DSL modem, double-click

Local Area Connection Properties Sharing, and then ensure that the Enable Internet

Connection Sharing for this connection option is selected.

Note:

For Windows 2000, you must enable local network sharing and select the Local Area Connection

relating to the Sony Ericsson 802.11b adaptor. You can check this by looking at the Device

Name in the Network and Dial-Up Connections list. If your Sony Ericsson 802.11b adaptor is
