If there is a computer network at home or in the office, then it is not necessary to establish a connection for each of them to provide Internet access. The operating system Widows XP allows all computers on the network to organize a general access to the Internet, and the connection is carried out on one of them.
Instructions
Step 1
Configure two network connections on the computer through which you will access the virtual network for sharing. The first is configured when the network card is connected. It connects other PCs on the LAN to the machine. The second connects the Internet to the local network using a modem.
Step 2
If you suddenly need to dial a number when connecting a local network, then check the box next to "Set up a call on demand". Go to the group called "Home Network Connection" and select in the "Internet Connection Sharing" section of the network card to connect the local network.
Step 3
Now configure the computers on the network to work with shared access. Open the Internet Explorer browser, then open the window called "Internet Options". Next, go to "Connections" and put a check mark next to the words "Never use". Then click "LAN Settings" and uncheck all the boxes in the settings window.
Step 4
If you have wireless devices, you can purchase a Wi-Fi adapter. This device is not a router or router. Wi-Fi adapters are divided into two categories based on the type of connector: PCI and USB. The first type is easier to connect, but the second is located inside the system unit, and this gives it protection. Buy a Wi-Fi adapter with a function that can create a wireless hotspot. Then connect it to your PC. Install the software and any required drivers. All of this should be sold together with the device included.
Step 5
Create an access point. Enter her password and name. Be sure to follow the last point. Otherwise, everyone will connect to your access point, and this will lead to a noticeable decrease in Internet speed and to the dissemination of your personal confidential information.
