The ' Connection Sharing' field allows you to configure which
(W)LAN members, besides the PC that opened the PPP session,
can use the PPP entry.
Three options are available:
Only Me
Only frames of the PC that opened the PPP session will be
routed via this PPP entry.
Suppose you opened a PPP session to your corporate and
other (W)LAN members are surfing the Internet.
Via this option you can prevent them from using the PPP entry
to your corporate as their gateway to the Internet.
Everybody
All PC(s) on the local (W)LAN can forward frames over this
PPP entry. This option is the exact opposite to ' Only me '.
If you open a PPP session to the Internet, other (W)LAN
members can share the PPP entry. In this way they are not
required to open a session themselves.
My net only
Only PC(s) sharing the same network and subnet number as
the PC that opened the outbound PPP session can use the PPP
entry.
The following table lists the used classful netmasks, related to the
three possible options:
Connection Sharing value Related Source Subnet Mask Notation
Only Me 255.255.255.255 /32
Everybody 0.0.0.0 /0
My net Only This value depends on the
subnet mask in use by the PC
that opened the PPP session.
