*ICS is used to share this computer’s Internet connection with the rest of the computers on your
network. When this computer is connected to the Internet, communication to and from the Inter-
net to all the computers on your network are sent through this computer, called the host com-
puter. Other computers can send and receive email and access the Web as if it were connected
directly to the Internet.
