Let's talk about ADSL sharing under Win 2003 and Win XP platform.

  

Everyone sees this topic and thinks it is a cliché. However, this time we are discussing how the platform built on "Windows Server 2003+Windows XP" can realize the ADSL shared Internet access by using the "Internet Connection Sharing" function provided by Windows itself. Although the implementation principle is the same as other systems (Windows 2000, Windows 98), there are some differences in the specific operation.

Adding a Network Card

A computer used to make an "Internet Connection Sharing" server should have two network cards installed, one connected to the ADSL Modem and the other connected to the internal network computer or switch.

Turn on Internet Connection Sharing

Assuming the server side is using Windows Server 2003. In the "Network Connection" dialog box, right click on the ADSL connection icon, select "Properties", open the "Properties" dialog box, then enter the "Advanced" tab, check "Allow other network users to pass this" in "Internet Connection Sharing" The computer's Internet connection to connect" option. Then select the local connection to the intranet computer or switch (herein "Local Area Connection 2") in the "Home Network Connection" drop-down list. Other options remain at their default settings, and finally click the "OK" button.

Tip: After "Internet Connection Sharing" is enabled, the IP address of "Local Area Connection 2" connected to the internal network will be automatically set to "192.168.0.1" by the system. Therefore, if the IP addresses of other computers in the intranet do not belong to the network segment, the communication may be terminated. It is recommended to set the computer on the intranet to the mode of automatically obtaining the IP address.

Client Sharing Internet

Take the Windows XP client as an example, set the IP address to the automatic acquisition mode, and you can share the Internet without specifying a gateway. Of course, you can also set the IP address to one of "192.168.0.2~192.168.0.255" and the gateway to "192.168.0.1".
