Re: Sharing Modem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

OK
What I have done is:
1. Set up host as per your site instructions with Network Setup Wizard.
2. Manually set Broadband connection to allow other users to use as per your
site instructions.
3. Set up client with Network Setup Wizard, I believe it was set up as per
your instructions.

Printer and file sharing work OK.

However, I do not get an Internet Gateway Icon in Network Connection on the
client as your site suggests.

Questions:
a. Does this mean the client is not set up correctly?
b. If I run Network Setup Wizaed again using same computer name and same
network name, will it just change any other setup options I might have made?
c. I am assuming that if all is OK, I should see something in my network
places for the host to indicate the modem is shared, the same as I see icons
for the shared printers etc?

Thanks for your help.
