How to share internet through wireless

There are two types of system:-

1.  Client System
2.  Server system

Clients are such host or system which takes data from server or can even accesses net from it where as server fulfills the request of client and acts as centralized system. In a simple term if one system has a modem then we can say it as a server and it’s internet can be easily accessed in other system which we can say as a client.

What is the need of client server communication?

If suppose one has a broadband modem and that person is using it then other have to wait for internet till he/she give the modem but with client and server communication we can share the net between more than two computer system no matter if one has single broadband. With the knowledge of this one can also share the resources i.e. transfer data between two or more system through wireless (WI-FI) or LAN cable.

Here is a simple tutorial which will guide you the setup for sharing internet between more than two systems. The process is simple and can be implemented in any O.S whether it will be XP, VISTA, or WINDOW-7.

Step 5: Fill in the same details as u will see. (Note: the last number is encircled in snap it means that if you want to connect more than one computer as a client then you can change that last digit according to your wish in different computers but not more than 254 provided that no two clients will have that encircled number same.)

Step 6: Now click on OK. A warning will be displayed but click on OK again and then click OK again to close the window pop-up. Now you are done with your host i.e. client system configuration. 

For Server Configuration:

It will be on a different computer.

Do not connect to the internet first not even with your network.

Follow procedure till Step 4 as mentioned above. After this select (TCP/IP4) and click properties and fill in the same details as u will see. You need to fill only the two line details as shown and do noticed that for server the encircled number must be 1.
