These instructions will guide you through setting up Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing to connect to your account. Ensure you close all applications before starting. Please have a copy of the original Windows XP installation software handy as it may be required by Windows during the setup process.
There are three separate processes involved:
It is assumed that you already have an existing Internet connection configured on the server and a NIC (network interface card) is installed in each computer on your LAN.
The Network will need to have a "Workgroup Name" which is
configured by running the Network Setup Wizard. This is found
by clicking Start/Connect To/Show all Connections.
For the sake of this example the workgroup will be called SUPPORT.
