Re: Internet sharing (DSL)

From: "ArchWarDragoknight" <ArchWarDragoknight@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| I have two computers at home which has both WinXP installed. One has a
| internet connection(host)(DSL) and i wanted my other computer(client) to
| connect through host internet connection. My host has 2 lan card installed
| one supposed to be for internet sharing. I already run WinXP Network Setup
| Wizard on both computers and both has same range of IP buth still i cannot
| share my internet connection.
|
| 1. If I will be using cross cable connection, still anything else i need to
| configure aside from running Network setup Wizard and checking the Allow
| others to connect to this internet connection?
|
| 2. Is it possible to use a hub to share internet connection, since I dont
| have a broadband router?
|
| 3. How about using a wireless network because i do have one, how can i share
| internet using access point. How can i configure it? Is it also possible that
| i use hub so that i have my access point connect to it and i still have ports
| to connect using utp cable network.
|
| Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

The *best* way to go about this is to obtain a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41.

There are many advantages to such a device as the Linksys BEFSR41 such as a built-in 4 port
10/100 Mb/s ethernet switch, simplistic FireWall, DHCP server and if the DSL uses PPPoE then
the Router, not the PC, will make the PPPoE connection to the ISP.

I do NOT suggest a WireLess network because if you do not know the basics, and properly
secure the wireless connection, you would be the subject of "War Driving" and either your
personal data will be stolen from you or the War Driver will perform nefarious actions using
your wireless network and YOU would be responsible for that person's actions.

As always, I suggest blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router.
