Chapter 7: Networking Your Computer
Testing your network
Now that your home network is set up, log onto one of your computers and access a favorite
Internet Web site.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet:
■
Run the New Connection Wizard (see “Sharing an Internet connection” on
page 104 )
■
Check all physical cable connections
■
Compare the status lights on the front of the router or access point with the
patterns described in the router or access point literature
■
Temporarily turn off any firewall software on your desktop computer
■
Turn off all of the devices, then power them back on
■
Refer to your router’s or access point’s troubleshooting information
■ Contact your Internet service provider
Sharing your resources
Sharing an Internet connection
Internet sharing lets all computers on the network access the Internet at the same time
using one Internet service provider (ISP) connection.
Important The Internet setup procedure uses the Windows XP New Connection
Wizard and Internet Explorer. The example screens show those
screens that typically appear in the course of using the wizard. If your
Internet connection differs from that used in this example, you may
encounter additional screens or screens with different selections.
Make sure that you read each screen in the wizard and make your
selections based on your particular Internet connection situation.
If you use a browser other than Internet Explorer, see the help
provided with that browser for configuring it for use on a network.
Important If you are using a dial-up modem instead of a broadband connection,
see the documentation that came with your router or access point
for the correct procedure.
