Connect to the Internet
4
With AnyPoint™ Internet Sharing Software (ISS), you can connect to the
Internet on multiple PCs at the same time, all with just one modem and one
Internet or broadband cable account. The PC with the Internet connection is
called the ISS server, and all the other PCs on the network that are sharing
the Internet account through the ISS server are called ISS clients.
Connect to the Internet using ISS
To see if ISS is running on the ISS server, look for the ISS icon on the right
side of the Windows* taskbar. If the icon is present, ISS is running.
If the icon is not present, you can manually start ISS on the server by
selecting
Start > Programs > Intel AnyPoint Network > Internet Sharing
Server
.
Connect from the ISS server
To connect from the ISS server:
1
Make sure that ISS is running on your ISS server PC.
2 Start an Internet browser (such as Netscape Navigator* or Microsoft
Internet Explorer*), and ISS automatically connects you to the Internet.
Important: If you have installed your AnyPoint Wireless II adapter
into a network through an access point or a gateway, ISS and its
features are not available. Refer to documentation for those
devices for instructions on connecting to the Internet.
Note: If you are using Virtual Private network (VPN) software, refer
to
"Connecting with Virtual Private Network (VPN)" on page 37.
Refer also to the
AnyPoint Wireless II Network Online Support site,
www.intel.com/anypoint/support/ for information.
Note: To close the shared Internet connection from the server PC,
double-click the ISS icon in the status area of the Windows taskbar,
and select Hang Up.
