Enabling Internet Connection Sharing for
Windows Me

1 Before you begin, check if you have a working Internet

connection and if your home network is working properly (if you
have one)
• Check the Internet connection by opening a web page with your browser.

2 On the desktop, double-click 'My Network Places' and then

double-click 'Home Networking Wizard'.
> The Home Networking Wizard will appear.

3 In each screen, click Next to continue the Wizard until it is

finished.
In the Wizard you need to select 'Yes' (you are using Internet on this
computer) and select 'A direct connection to my ISP using the following
device:' and choose the network adapter you use to make contact with the
Internet from the list.

4 In the next screen, select 'Yes' when asked 'if you want other

computers on your home network to use the Internet
connection on this computer'.
Choose the wireless network adapter.

5 Follow the instructions on the screen, and enter:

- a computer name (unique for each computer, e.g. STUDY or MOM)
- a workgroup name (the same for all computers in the network, e.g.

HOMENET)

NOTE: these names are not the SSID or network name.
- Choose to share your files and printers
- Make a Home Networking Setup disk.
> This concludes the Wizard

6 Run the Setup disk you created earlier, on all computers that

you wish to use the shared Internet connection from.
> This adjusts the Internet settings to use the shared Internet connection.
