The computer realizes the shared Internet access method under Windows XP system

A LAN has added a client, but the hub port is full, which means that the newly added client cannot Access to the LAN, even shared resources can not access, let alone share the Internet. The network management does not intend to add a hub. At this time, the Windows XP "bridge" function comes in handy, but a prerequisite is required, that is, the LAN must have a Windows XP system client with a dual network card installed. Prerequisites are available, and the idea will be realized soon. In order to easily distinguish the description objects, the following client with dual network card is called “Customer A”, and the newly added client is called “Customer B””. The method is as follows:

First of all, ensure that “Customer A” can access the resources on the LAN and share the Internet, open “Network and Dial-up Connection”, and rename the “Local Connection” that was originally connected to the LAN. “Local connection-host”, rename another “local connection” to “local connection-customer”, and then use twisted pair (two-way direct connection) to “locally connect”-customer & rdquo; Corresponding network card and " customer B & rdquo; machine network card directly connected.

Next, set the network properties on the "Customer B", specify an empty IP address and "computer name", other settings such as "subnet mask", "default gateway", “DNS server”,"workgroup" and “customer A” machine settings are the same.

Now, if “Customer A” and “Customer B” can access each other's shared resources, it means that they have already succeeded in half. The next thing to do is to use Windows XP's “bridge”. “Local Connections - Hosts & "Local Area Connections - Customers"

The so-called one-port shared Internet access, here is the same LAN, the two machines share a Hub or switch port to share Internet access. Before Windows XP, this idea may be difficult to implement in Microsoft's operating system. However, since the release of Windows XP, it is not difficult to realize this concept by using the newly added "bridge" function.

Customer A” enter the “Network and Dial-up Connection” window, right click on “Local Connection-Host” and click the “Bridge” command in the menu. The system starts to give The two connections are bridged. When the bridge is successful, open the “Bridge” property page, and all the adapters are set to connect to the local network. Now open the IE browser, “Customer B” machine can also access the Internet. It realizes that a dual-machine shared a Hub port shared Internet access in the LAN.

According to this method, if a new client is added to the LAN, another client in the LAN can be bridged with the new client, and so on, if the above method is “ Customer B” machine can also bridge the client, then it can be said that the LAN only needs a Hub is enough, but if there are more new clients, it is recommended to buy a Hub as well, not only “ Bridging & rdquo; is the need to add a network card. If there is a better way to achieve this theme, I hope everyone will add.
