Apple AirPort Networks manual To start Internet sharing on a computer using Windows

To start Internet sharing on a computer using Windows:

1Open Control Panel from the Start menu, and then click “Network and Internet.”

2Click “Network and Sharing Center.”

3Click “Manage network connections” in the Tasks list.

4Right-click the network connection you want to share, and then select Properties.

5Click Sharing and then select “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection.”

Note: If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in Ethernet, for example), contact your ISP before you turn on Internet sharing. In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting its network.

The following chapters explain AirPort security options, AirPort network design and setup, and other advanced options.
