.: How to configure Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP :.


How to use Internet Connection Sharing

To use Internet Connection Sharing to share your Internet connection, the host computer must have one network adapter that is configured to connect to the internal network, and one network adapter or modem that is configured to connect to the Internet.

On the host computer

On the host computer, follow these steps to share the Internet connection:
  1. Log on to the host computer as Administrator or as Owner.
  2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
  4. Click Network Connections.
  5. Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the Internet. For example, if you connect to the Internet by using a modem, right-click the connection that you want under Dial-up.
  6. Click Properties.
  7. Click the Advanced tab.
  8. Under Internet Connection Sharing, select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.
  9. If you are sharing a dial-up Internet connection, select the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box if you want to permit your computer to automatically connect to the Internet.
  10. Click OK. You receive the following message:
    When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use IP address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on your network. If these other computers have static IP addresses, it is a good idea to set them to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable Internet Connection Sharing?
  11. Click Yes.
The connection to the Internet is shared to other computers on the local area network (LAN). The network adapter that is connected to the LAN is configured with a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

On the client computer

To connect to the Internet by using the shared connection, you must confirm the LAN adapter IP configuration, and then configure the client computer. To confirm the LAN adapter IP configuration, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to the client computer as Administrator or as Owner.
  2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
  4. Click Network Connections.
  5. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
  6. Click the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items list, and then click Properties.
  7. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Obtain an IP address automatically (if it is not already selected), and then click OK. Note You can also assign a unique static IP address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. For example, you can assign the following static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway:
      1. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click OK.
      1. Quit Control Panel.

To configure the client computer to use the shared Internet connection, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Click Network and Internet Connections.
  3. Click Internet Options.
  4. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Connections tab.
  5. Click the Setup button. The New Connection Wizard starts.
  6. On the Welcome to the New Connection Wizard page, click Next.
  7. Click Connect to the Internet, and then click Next.
  8. Click Set up my connection manually, and then click Next.
  9. Click Connect using a broadband connection that is always on, and then clickNext.
  10. On the Completing the New Connection Wizard page, click Finish.
  11. Quit Control Panel.
When you now start Microsoft Internet Explorer, the client computer will try to connect to the Internet by using the host computer's shared Internet connection.

Troubleshooting

When you turn on Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer, the host computer's LAN adapter is automatically assigned the IP address of 192.168.0.1. Therefore, one of the following situations may occur:
  • IP address conflict Each computer on the LAN must have a unique IP address. If more than one computer has the same IP address, an IP conflict occurs, and one of the network adapters turns off until the conflict is resolved. To resolve this conflict, configure the client computer to automatically obtain an IP address, or assign it a unique IP address.
  • Loss of network connectivity If your network is configured with a different IP address range than Internet Connection Sharing uses, you will lose network connectivity with the host computer. To resolve this issue, configure the client computers to automatically obtain an IP address, or assign each client computer a unique IP address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.

4 power tools for students from microsoft

Your kids can do a great job with even the toughest school projects with just a computer running Windows and the right information resources. Research no longer requires a trip to the neighborhood library because a whole world of information—and the tools to put it all together—are right at home on your family computer.

Picture of a school paper with an A+ stamped on it

Here are four homework power tools that can turn your children's ho-hum project into A+ work:

These four tools working together will truly enrich your student's study experience.

Microsoft Math 3.0

If your middle-school or high-school student is looking for just one resource to help them save time and complete high-quality math and science homework, Microsoft Math 3.0 is it. From basic math to precalculus to physics, Microsoft Math helps students visualize and see mathematical and scientific concepts as they’ve never seen them before. It gives them step-by-step instructions to help them tackle even the most difficult problems, while gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts.

Microsoft Math includes:

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 can help your kids put all the information they gather together into a dazzling presentation.

An easy-to-use but sophisticated program, PowerPoint 2007 includes dozens of ready-made templates, but it also allows students to design their own look and feel. Your students can simply plug in their information, choose the slide transitions they want, and give their presentations in the classroom.

Tip: You can learn more about PowerPoint 2007 by viewing one of the online demos on the Microsoft Office Online Web site.



Microsoft Office OneNote 2007

For students and educators who gather and interpret data from multiple sources, collaborate with peers, juggle classes, meetings, social activities, and more, Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is a note-taking program that makes it easy to take, organize, manage, and reuse notes more productively.

Unlike paper systems or word processing applications, OneNote 2007 combines the ability to capture typed and handwritten text, diagrams, Web page content, and audio notes in one place with the flexibility to organize and reuse them any way you want. There are many ways OneNote 2007 can help your kids in their studies—they can use it to record lectures, create outlines, and take notes when they do research online.


Microsoft Office Online Clip Art

No presentation would be complete without some kind of art—a photo, drawing, cartoon, or media clip.

Your students can use the clip art in PowerPoint 2007, and they can get free access to more than 150,000 pieces of art, photos, sounds, and animation on the Microsoft Office Online Clip Art and Media site.

To download free clip art, your kids just:

  1. Go to the Clip Art and Media site.

  2. Search the clip art for something they like.

  3. Click the checkbox beneath the art they want.

  4. Click the Download link.

The site copies the art to the computer, and your student can plug it into their presentation or print it with their report.

Each of these tools makes it easy for your student to research and create school projects. But even more importantly, these homework power tools can open your children's minds to a world of curiosity, ideas, inspiration, and creativity.

.: 4 steps to set up your home wireless network :.

4 steps to set up your home wireless network from Microsoft


You can use a wireless network to share Internet access, files, printers, and more. Or you can use it to surf the Web while you're sitting on your couch or in your yard. Plus, it's easier to install than you think.

man with a laptop in a hammock

Note: For Windows Vista users, we recommend installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1 before setting up your wireless network. For Windows XP users, we recommend installing Windows XP Service Pack 3. Although the service pack is not required for wireless networking, it does make things much easier and helps protect you against hackers, worms, and other Internet intruders.

1. Choose your wireless equipment

2. Connect your wireless router

Since you'll be temporarily disconnected from the Internet, print these instructions before you go any further.

First, locate your cable modem or DSL modem and unplug it to turn it off.

Next, connect your wireless router to your modem. Your modem should stay connected directly to the Internet. Later, after you've hooked everything up, your computer will wirelessly connect to your router, and the router will send communications through your modem to the Internet.

How to go wireless

Next, connect your router to your modem:

Note: The instructions below apply to a Linksys wireless router. The ports on your router may be labeled differently, and the images may look different on your router. Check the documentation that came with your equipment for additional assistance.

  • If you currently have your computer connected directly to your modem: Unplug the network cable from the back of your computer, and plug it into the port labeled Internet, WAN, or WLAN on the back of your router.

  • If you do not currently have a computer connected to the Internet: Plug one end of a network cable (included with your router) into your modem, and plug the other end of the network cable into the Internet, WAN, or WLAN port on your wireless router.

  • If you currently have your computer connected to a router: Unplug the network cable connected to the Internet, WAN, or WLAN port from your current router, and plug this end of the cable into the Internet, WAN, or WLAN port on your wireless router. Then, unplug any other network cables, and plug them into the available ports on your wireless router. You no longer need your original router, because your new wireless router replaces it.

Next, plug in and turn on your cable or DSL modem. Wait a few minutes to give it time to connect to the Internet, and then plug in and turn on your wireless router. After a minute, the Internet, WAN, or WLAN light on your wireless router should light up, indicating that it has successfully connected to your modem.




3. Configure your wireless router

wireless cables

Using the network cable that came with your wireless router, you should temporarily connect your computer to one of the open network ports on your wireless router (any port that isn't labeled Internet, WAN, or WLAN). If you need to, turn your computer on. It should automatically connect to your router.

Next, open Internet Explorer and type in the address to configure your router.

You might be prompted for a password. The address and password you use will vary depending on what type of router you have, so refer to the instructions included with your router.

As a quick reference, this table shows the default addresses, usernames, and passwords for some common router manufacturers.

Internet Explorer will show your router's configuration page. Most of the default settings should be fine, but you should configure three things:

  1. Your wireless network name, known as the SSID. This name identifies your network. You should choose something unique that none of your neighbors will be using.

  2. Wireless encryption (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), which help protect your wireless network. For most routers, you will provide a passphrase that your router uses to generate several keys. Make sure your passphrase is unique and long (you don't need to memorize it).

  3. Your administrative password, which controls your wireless network. Just like any other password, it should not be a word that you can find in the dictionary, and it should be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Be sure you can remember this password, because you'll need it if you ever have to change your router's settings.

The exact steps you follow to configure these settings will vary depending on the type of router you have. After each configuration setting, be sure to click Save Settings, Apply, or OK to save your changes.

Now, you should disconnect the network cable from your computer.

4. Connect your computers to the wireless network

If your computer does not have wireless network support built in, plug your network adapter into your USB port, and place the antenna on top of your computer (in the case of a desktop computer), or insert the network adapter into an empty PC card slot (in the case of a laptop). Windows will automatically detect the new adapter, and may prompt you to insert the CD that came with your adapter. The on-screen instructions will guide you through the configuration process.
