When the summary screen appears, review your network configuration
choices carefully before you click
Install. Once you install, you cannot
come back to this screen without reinstalling the software.
7 You will be notified that your software installed successfully. Click OK.
The following screen helps you decide if you want to install the
AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software (ISS) for use with an Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
8 Select one of the following options:
•
I want to install AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software. Choose this
default option if you want to use the AnyPoint Internet Sharing
Software (ISS) to share Internet access with all PCs in your home
network. For more information on ISS, refer to "Connect to the
Internet using ISS" on page 33. If you choose this option, go to step 9.
•
I do not want to share my Internet connection. Choose this option if
you use other software for Internet sharing, a Virtual Private Network
(VPN), a gateway or access point, or do not want AnyPoint™ Internet
Sharing Service (you can always install it later). For installing to
VPN, refer also to "Connecting with Virtual Private Network (VPN)"
on page 37.
After you select one of the above options, click
Next.
If you do not install the Internet Sharing Software, the install program
will skip the remaining ISS screens.
If you use other
software for Internet
sharing or you have
chosen not to have
Internet Sharing
Service, then click
here. Also, if you plan
to install a gateway,
an access point
device, or a Virtual
Private Network, do
not install Internet
Sharing Software.
Click here if you want
to install ISS on your
server PC.
