The ' Connection Sharing' field allows you to configure which
(W)LAN members, besides the PC that opened the PPP session,
can use the PPP connection.
Three options are available:
"
Only Me
Only frames of the PC that opened the PPP session will be
routed via this PPP connection.
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
connection to your corporate as their gateway to the Internet.
"
Everybody
All PC(s) on the local (W)LAN can forward frames over this
PPP connection. 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 connection. In this way they are
not required to open a session themselves.
"
My net only
Only PC(s) having the same network, and subnet number as
the PC that opened the outbound PPP session, can use the PPP
connection.
The following table lists the used 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 255.255.255.0 (default)
This value depends on the subĆ
net mask in use.
