1.	Solve : Other-PC-to-INet through my connection?
Answer» Good Day/Night. Please tell me in detail how do I connect NEIGHBOUR (in LAN) computer (using XP Pro) to InterNet through my connection? REM I've checked the box asking if I want to share my connection to others, but when ESTABLISHING new connection on the other machine (potential client) I can't find any option to perform it. I've been trying, I guess, all of choices, but... Sorry to bother, I know how does it piss, but it's a dead end for me. Please HELP! Thank You.Is your neighbour is the same building? Are you thinking of a wired connection, or wireless? What type Internet service do you have, cable or DSL? Do you have a ROUTER? What OS is running on all computers invovled in this scenario? Hello. Sorry that you had to ask those questions... Well, let's go. 1. Yes, we're in the same room; I have wireless connection to INet; 2. DSL; router (if you ment our LAN switch/hub) is present; 3. On both - WinXP Pro SP2Quote from: Archer on January 21, 2009, 11:58:37 AM I've checked the box asking if I want to share my connection to others, but when establishing new connection on the other machine (potential client) I can't find any option to perform it. this isn't clear. Do you just want to get both computers on the Internet, or do you want to enable file sharing and/or printer sharing? You don't need to setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), where one computer connects to the Internet through another computer; this isn't necessary since you have a router. I'm guessing your router has 4 ports on back so that up to four computers or devices could be connected to it by cable. And, in addition, your router supports wireless connections. So, if Internet access for multiple computers is your objective, you don't need to setup ICS in this CASE, just connect both computers to the router via wire or wireless. Quote from: soybean on January 22, 2009, 02:14:59 PM this isn't clear. Do you just want to get both computers on the Internet, or do you want to enable file sharing and/or printer sharing? Well, like I told, I'd like to connect other computer to INet using my wireless Internet connection (which, in fact, I'm using right now). Sharing files is not a problem. Both of computers ARE connected to the router. When establishing connection I'm being asked some questions like of the name of provider, his phone numb, type of connection etc. And I've not seen any question allowing to use LAN member's connection instead of remote (regular, so to say) provider. And it keeps asking for modem I do not have on the second machine. By the way, maybe it was not all clear about my connection (I know that's not all). I'm connected to INet using my own modem. Our network has no providers, and actually we cannot get to the INet at all. It is my personal 'exit', which I want to share. Maybe I should know more about Proxy-server stuff? My router is 12-port. I do not encounter any problem to transfer data between all LAN members. 'Wireless' corresponds only to my own INet connection which I already have. Maybe I just can't explain all I want; sorry, but I'm not that good in English. But hope You could understand my quest_s.Well you don't need to do that and I am not sure you want to do that. However if you would like the other computer connect to the Internet through the wireless interface try: 1.) buy a separate USB adapter for the other computers 2.) set up a software bridge on where you have the wireless network card installed. for a detailed tutorial try read this article: ww.homenethelp.com/web/howto/windows-xp-bridge.asp
