What is Internet Sharing?
| Internet Connection Sharing |
|
Provides network address translation (NAT), addressing and name resolution services for all computers on your home or small-office network through a dial-up or broadband connection. When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your computer becomes an 'Internet gateway' on the network, enabling other client computers to share one connection to the Internet, share files, and use the same printers. This service is turned off by default. If this service is stopped or disabled services such as internet connection sharing, name resolution, and addressing will not be available to clients on the network. Therefore clients on the home or small office network may not be able to get to the Internet, and their IP addresses will expire, resulting in some clients using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) for peer-to-peer networking connectivity. |
