ICS or Internet Connection Sharing is a tool used in Windows to share your internet conection be it Wifi or Lan. To set up the conection you will need the following:
Ethernet Cord Laptop or Desktop running Windows 7 Administrative Rights on that computer Now for the steps. 1. Open Network and Sharing center To do this open your start menu and search Network and Sharing 2. Click Wireless Network Connection (Your Router Name Here) 3. When the dialog box opens click Properties 4. Then in the sub-menu click the tab Sharing 5. Check the box that says (Allow other Network users to connect to this computer's Internet connection. 6. Press OK and close all open windows. 7. If you are using a laptop make sure it is plugged in then plug the Ethernet cable into the slot on you computer. 8. Turn the other computer on and there you go. Note- This also allows you to connect your Xbox 360 or any other device with an Ethernet Connection slot to the Internet. Also please make sure you disable your Windows Firewall I always seem to have a connection problem when it is enabled because it tries to block the other devices. TCP/IP
TCP/IP or Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) and Internet Protocol(IP) is an addressing system needed to deliver packets of information to your computer. All computers that connect to a network has to have a TCP/IP address or IP address for short. Data is broken up into small packets of information and the addresses of borth the reciving and sending computer is attached to each packet. It like mailing a letter to your friend you have to have a sending address and the address it is going too, but not all people put there address also known as the return address on the letter in computer terms this can be called a Proxy. It would be nearly impossible to trace the letter or information back to you, now I am not saying it is imposible with some of the technology we have these days. An IP address contains for sets of number followed by periods Example- 201.46.197.112 Each part of the address directs the packet of data along its way, almost like an address Example- 201. indicates the state you computer is in 46. indicates the city 197. indicates the street or building you computer is in 112. indicates the computer you are using As you can tell, it is like an address Example- Washington Seattle 1711 DC Dr. #4 First make sure you are connected to the router
Then open Start Menu and click Network Conections If you are connected to the router threw Wi-Fi them double click Wireless Network Connection Third click the Support tab in the Wi-Fi connection window Copy the Default Gateway Example-192.162.0.1 Paste it into your internet window make sure you put http:// Example- http://192.162.0.1 Wi-Fi Networks
Internet Sharing- ICS or internet connection sharing is a feature given is most operating systems the most current is Microsoft Windows 7. This feature allows you to share both internet and files by having one computer connected to you Wi-Fi or Wireless router threw a LAN or Ethernet cable, then of course have a(n) ad hoc network setup so that all of the computers you wish to share internet with can connect to it. Notes- Security is a big problem in our world so it is very important that when you setup your ad hoc network that you enable security no matter what OS you use Windows XP Vista or 7 and when it comes out Windows 8 In addition, it is very hard to set this kind of connection up with a(n) computer using Windows XP I personally recommend only trying the setup with a Windows Vista or 7 OS because they are both much easier.
