In some situations, to create a home network in which several computers will access the Internet at once, you can do without the use of complex expensive equipment. You just need to configure your computer as a server.
It is necessary
network cables
Instructions
Step 1
First, determine which computer will act as a server on your network. It should be powerful enough so that it is not heavily affected by the load arising from the distribution and transmission of Internet traffic. If this computer has only one network card installed, then purchase an additional similar device.
Step 2
Connect the purchased network adapter to the selected computer. Now, using a network cable, connect this adapter to the network card of another computer. Now configure this network adapter so that other computers can access the Internet through it. Open the properties of this network card. Select the Internet Protocol TCP / IPv4 and click the Properties button.
Step 3
Enter 155.155.155.1 in the "IP address" field. Leave the rest of the fields in this menu unchanged. Save the adapter settings.
Step 4
Create and configure an internet connection on this computer. Naturally, use a different network card for this purpose. Open the properties of the new connection and go to the "Access" menu. Check the box next to the item "Allow this Internet connection to be used by other computers on the local network." In the next paragraph, specify the network that the second network adapter belongs to.
Step 5
This completes the server setup on the computer. Now change the parameters of the network card of the computer connected to this PC. Open the properties of the network connection and go to configure the TCP / IPv4 protocol.
Step 6
Taking into account the value of the IP-address of the server computer, enter the following numbers in the required items of the menu that opens:
- 155.155.155.2;
- 255.255.0.0;
- 155.155.155.1;
- 155.155.155.1;
- 155.155.155.1.
Step 7
Save the settings for this menu. Make sure the computer can access the internet.
