Internet sharing allows you to share a single Internet connection among all of the
computers on your home network. You can configure your home network for
Internet sharing by using the Internet sharing setup program provided with the
Home Network Gateway.
The Internet sharing setup program is Web-based, which means that it is accessed
through your Web browser (usually Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator)
running on your Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX computer.
Before beginning this section, you should contact your ISP to find out what kind of
Internet connection you have (Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPP over Ethernet, or Dial-Up),
as well as collect all relevant addresses you will need to setup the gateway.
To use the setup program:
1 Activate your browser.
2 Type the IP address of the gateway in the Location (Netscape) or Address (Internet
Explorer) field, and click Enter on the keyboard.
For example, if you are using the default address of the gateway, type
http://192.168.2.1
established, the setup program will launch and the user startup screen will appear.
The startup screen, System Status, contains information about the status of
the gateway, including IP address, dial-up modem status (if applicable), and
firmware version.
