[methakon]

please provide me detailed about sharing internet connection through lan

[newton3010]

you would need a pc with an internet connection and a free ehternet port to act as the gateway for the other computers to connect to...

first setup the internet connection sharing , then just connect a hub to the ehternet port on the pc with the internet and then any computer connected to the hub should have internet..

Just make sure the pcs connected to the hub are set to get an ip address automaticly...

There are a few different ways to do this. The most common way is to buy a router. A router is a device that protects your network from the outside world by pretending to be one device. Up to 5 computers can connect through wires to a normal home router. Many wireless computers can connect via WiFi on a wireless home router. This is the easiest and most simple way to share an internet connection in a home.

Another way to do it is to have a computer with 2 network cards in it. One of the network cards connects to the internet, while the other is connected to a different computer. Go into the network connections part of the control panel on the computer connected directly to the internet, and right clicking on Local Area Connection 1 and clicking properties. Click on the Advanced tab and check the box that says "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection." This will allow the second computer to use the computer connected to the internet like a router.

from your question i suppose that you have a fully working LAN connection .(using switch and all)
and now you want to share one single broadband connection within the network.
................................................................................​.............................
Now you have to follow this steps:
1: you must have one system with 2 LAN card

2: plug the internet provider jack to one of them

3: plug another Lan cod(cross) to another port of the system to the switch / hubs in point(may be any one of the corner points of the device)

4:now check all the device are working or not
................................................................................​...................
if no then then fix it and if yes then:

steps:
1: go to my network places , select view network connections from the side bar.........

2: select the network connection which is connected to the LAN or hub and go to its property by rightclicking it

3: go to tcp/ip properties fron it and select advance tab

4: their you find Internet Connection Sharing check boxes , select Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection

5.You can enable or disable the allowing of other users to control the connection—users don't need to be able to control the connection to use it.

6.Under Internet Connection Firewall, select the Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box for this network card, unless you have another firewall between the computer and the Internet. This is very important.

7.Click OK, and Internet Connection Sharing will be enabled.

Note: You must have administrative rights to enable ICS. After enabling ICS, verify that Internet connectivity is still functional on the host computer before testing the client computers. Remember to leave the host computer on all the time or turn it on before the other networked computers, so the client computers can request an IP address from the host.
