4.5 Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
After setting the WiFi-b™ card on Soft AP mode, you may enable Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS). ICS is a Windows
® XP feature allowing several
computers in a wired or wireless network to share a single Internet connection.
With ICS, other wireless clients in a home or small office network rely on the
WiFi-b™ for Internet access. Follow these instructions to enable ICS.

To enable ICS if your computer connects to the Internet using a broadband that is
always on:
1. Open the Wireless Settings utility.
Select Config from the property
window, then select the Soft AP tab.
2. Select the built-in 3Com Gigabit LAN
connection from the Available
Network Connections field, then
drag it to the Internet field.
3. Check Enable ICS and Enable
Firewall, then click Apply.
4. Click OK when this dialog box
appears.
5. An Internet Sharing Configuration
dialog box appears. Click Yes. The
Internet network connection and the
WiFi-b™ card is bridged. See section

Wireless clients must be set to Infrastructure network type and STA (station) mode to
connect to the Internet via the soft AP. The SSID and WEP keys of client computers
must be identical with that of the soft AP.
