Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Ciplus have two PCs. One of them, who have the Windows Vista operating system, connected to the Internet. While other PC is not connected to the Internet. Ciplus wanted all his PC can connect to the Internet.

We have had two choices Ciplus to connect another PC to the Internet. The first option, Ciplus can install a new Internet connection to a PC. But of course this is less efficient option. Cost required to create a new connection is certainly not small. Not to mention the device procurement matters.

The second option, Ciplus can share Internet access on one PC to another PC via network. Sharing your Internet access can also be done in two ways. The first way, you can use a proxy.

You must install proxy software on a PC connected to the Internet. On the other PC, set in the Internet Options him to point to the proxy. This setting is in the [Start]> [Control Panel]> [Network and Internet]> [Internet Options]. In the Internet Options window, select the tab [Connections] and click [LAN Settings]. Check on [Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)]. Then fill a PC or an IP address a PC that has access to the Internet Address column. Do not forget to fill his port at Port column. Click [OK] twice and after that, you can access the Internet from any PC.

Alternatively, if you do not want to bother to install the proxy, is that you can use the feature to share Internet access in Windows Vista. How, follow these steps.

1. Click [Start]> [Control Panel]> [Network and Internet]> [Network and Sharing Center].
2. In the Tasks pane on the right, select the option [Manage Network Connections].
