• Public IP - the IP Address provided by your ISP
• Private IP - the IP Address that will be installed to your local network.
  • for Server- 192.168.0.1
  • for Client Workstations � 192.168.0.2 up to 254

STEP 1. Install both LAN cards and set the proper IP address configuration. Go to Control Panel then select Network to change the settings or right click the Network Neighborhood then select Properties.

NOTE: Some LAN cards with similar models conflict with each other when used in tandem. Be sure that you are using 2 different models of LAN cards, unless it�s made by �3Com�.

- The first TCP/IP should be used for the DSL connection. This IP address is provided by your ISP.

- The second TCP/IP should be used for your �private IP� (192.168.0.1). The following are the correct setting;

• IP Adress 192.168.0.1
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
• Gateway *** leave it blank
• DNS Configuration *** the DNS configuration of the first TCP/IP setup will be carried over to the second TCP/IP automatically.

- TEST YOUR SETTING ( First TCP/IP ):

a) Try testing your LAN card by pinging its IP address (public IP). This is the one given by your ISP. If you get a �reply�, then your LAN card is functioning properly.

b) Try testing your link to ISP's DSL network by pinging the �Gateway� address. If you get a �reply�, then your LAN card is functioning properly. If not, then something is wrong with your connection or settings.

c) Try to test if you can access the Internet by browsing through it. Try opening www.yahoo.com. If you are able to do so, then go to the next step. If you can�t browse the Internet, then re-check you IP Address again. Try contacting your ISP for assistance.

STEP 2. Configure any of the client workstations with the following IP Address.

	IP Address	192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254
	Subnet Mask	255.255.255.0
	Gateway	192.186.0.1
	DNS Configuration;
	Search Order	192.168.0.1
	Host	(the computer name)
	Domain	(leave blank)
	Suffix	leave blank)

In this example, we are configuring PC Number 13.

a) "192.168.0.13" is the IP Address configuration for a client workstation. The IP address should fall within the range from 192.18.0.2 up to 192.168.0.254

b) In the DNS configuration, "use 192.168.0.1" for DNS Search Order. You can type the name of the computer into the �Host� field.

c) "192.168.0.1" should be the Gateway configuration. Reboot your PC.

d) TEST YOUR SETTING ( Client Workstation TCP/IP ):

1) Try testing your LAN card by pinging its IP address (private IP). In our example we used 192.168.0.13. If you get a �reply�, then your LAN card is functioning properly.

2) Try testing your link to the Internet Sharing Server by pinging 192.168.0.1. This your �Local Gateway� address. If you get a �reply�, then your local network is working fine.

3) Now proceed to the next step.

STEP 3. Activating the Internet Sharing Program

a) Open the Server and right click Network Neighborhood then select Properties.

b) Select the Advanced tab.

c) In the Internet Connection Sharing section, check the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.

d) Click OK to close the connection properties.

e)You do not need to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

f) Try pinging the IP Address of any client workstation to check if the local access is still working fine.

STEP 4. Internet Explorer Configurations

Configure your Internet Explorer following the settings given below.

a) Test your client workstation now by pinging the local Gateway IP address (192.168.0.1). If you get a �reply� then your network is okay.

b) Try pinging www.yahoo.com, if you get a reply then the server is configured properly.
