- Can you share internet through one computer to all others on netwo
- Posted by Greg on February 19th, 2008
We have two computers connected to a router (it might actually be a switch if
that matters) and also a Mac OSX. All computers are networked together and
working fine. The only internet we have is a Verizon USB thing that accesses
the net over the cellular antennas. It works fine with the computer its
connected to but is there any way to have other computers share that internet
connection?
Ive tried the networking wizard and chose the option about "This computer
connects to the internet through another computer on the network" but that
doesnt seem to do anything

Buy a router/adsl modem......much easier. And they are NOT expensive....

Greg,
You can share through one computer. Essentially, you use the computer with
Internet connection as a NAT router, using Internet Connection Sharing.

what we have says its an "8 port workgroup switch", I guess that isnt the
same thing is it?
and cable/dsl is not an option where we are. cellular internet is our only
option and that was tough enough...that or dialup

How about satellite?

It looks like there is no simple "wizard" or something that can make this
work is there? Everything on that site was way over my head

The Network Setup Wizard, which is what you mentioned in your first post, is
where you start. But you do have to connect the hardware properly first.

satellite is way overpriced and ive never heard a good thing about it from
anyone that ive known who has had it. Many say its no better than dialup.
Our business is way out in the boonies. We JUST got city water!

SonicWALL makes a unit that can handle a PCMCIA cellular modem thingy, I

Hi
Your best bet is to try the instructions in the link that posted before by
Lem.
However some of the Wireless Internet devices to not lend themselves to be
Routed and be used with multiple computers.
If you attempt to use ICS fails contact Verizon and ask for solution.
"It might cost you and arm and half leg", but hey that is sometimes the
price of "Leaving in the Fast Lanes".
