By connecting one of the computers that make up the local network to the Internet, you can provide access to the World Wide Web for the entire network. To do this, you need to build the correct network diagram and set the correct values for the network adapters.

network cables
Instructions
Step 1
First, select the computer that will share the Internet connection with the rest of the devices. Remember that it is recommended to use a sufficiently powerful processor to prevent data transfer slowdown. The selected PC must have at least two slots for connecting LAN cables.
Step 2
Now build a local network in which all other computers will be connected to the selected server through network hubs or switches. Remember that if the computer is connected to the server through another PC, then it is unlikely to be able to access the Internet.
Step 3
Set up an internet connection on the server computer. Use the standard connection parameters. Open the properties of the new connection. Go to the "Access" menu. Check the box next to the parameter responsible for transferring Internet access to local network users. Save the connection parameters and refresh this connection.
Step 4
Open the properties of the network adapter that is connected to the hub. In the settings of the Internet Protocol TCP / IP, set the permanent (static) IP address equal to 123.132.156.1. Save the parameters for this adapter.
Step 5
Now configure the rest of the computers so that they can access the Internet through the server computer. Open the list of active local networks. Go to the properties of the network adapter connected to the switch. Open TCP / IP settings. Based on the value of the IP address of the server computer, enter the following parameters:
123.132.156. X - IP address
255.255.0.0. - Subnet mask
123.132.156.1 - Default gateway
123.132.156.1 - Preferred DNS server.
In this case, X should be greater than 1, but less than 250. Naturally, the value of the X parameter should not be repeated. Otherwise, an error will appear on the network caused by an IP address conflict.
