Few people now can be surprised by several computers within the same apartment or office. Naturally, without Internet access, the computer was and remains defective. But few people know that it is completely unnecessary for each device to conclude an agreement with a provider and stretch a separate network cable. There is a possibility to split the Internet to two computers.
It is necessary
- -LAN card
- -network cable.
Instructions
Step 1
The cheapest and fastest way to share the Internet is by connecting two computers directly. Purchase an additional network cable and an additional network card. Install the latter into a computer connected to the Internet. Connect both computers together. Open the new network settings of a computer that already has Internet access. Go to the properties of the Internet Protocol TCP / IPv4. Fill in the "IP address" field with 192.168.0.1. Press Tab for Windows to automatically detect the subnet mask.
Step 2
Find the internet connection icon and open its properties. In the "Access" tab, allow the use of this Internet connection for computers in the local network, which is formed by your two PCs. This completes the setup of the first computer.
Step 3
In the properties of the network connection on the second computer, open the TCP / IPv4 Internet Protocol. Fill in the "IP address" field in the same way as in the first step, replacing only the last segment. In the Preferred DNS Server and Default Gateway fields, insert the IP address of the first computer.
