Sharing an Internet connection

Hello! This tutorial was written to help you set up a home network and share a single cable modem or DSL Internet connection with multiple computers.

Among the benefits of Internet sharing:

  • Justifies the higher cost of a high-speed connection
  • No more family squabbles over "the Internet computer"
  • Improved security for your local network

Of course, Internet sharing is not a walk in the park. Different solutions are required for different people, and it's not uncommon to botch a setup with a single wrong setting. I've prepared this tutorial to help you avoid these troubles; to find the right solution and make the right settings. Just read carefully, and maybe it'll feel like a walk in the park.

If you need some clarification along the way, there are full-length definitions of many terms in the glossary. If you're still confused, visit the forums and post a question. Or, if you think my writing is inherently unclear, so I can fix it!
