Connect to the Internet CHAPTER 4

Disconnect or hang up from an ISS client
From an ISS client, you can close the shared connection only if the settings
on the ISS server allow any PC to hang up. When any PC hangs up the
shared connection, the connection closes for all PCs on the network.
• To disconnect or hang up from an ISS client without hanging up the
shared connection, quit all Internet programs on the ISS client.
• To end the network’s shared Internet connection and disconnect all
PCs, double-click the ISS icon, and click
Hang Up. If Hang Up is not
available, the ISS server has not granted permission for clients to end
the connection, or, in the case of continuous connections like cable
modems and DSL lines, you cannot disconnect the connection.
Exiting or bypassing ISS when connecting to the
Internet
If you need to connect your PC to the Internet without using the AnyPoint
Internet Sharing Software, use these instructions to exit or bypass ISS.
Choose one of two methods of connecting to the Internet without ISS:
• Exit ISS from the ISS server to prevent all PCs on the network from
using the shared Internet connection, or
• Bypass ISS from any PC. This bypasses ISS only on that PC.
None of the ISS services are available in this mode of operation.
Exit ISS from the ISS server
To prevent all PCs on the network from using the shared connection, quit
ISS at the ISS server. This closes the ISS window and disconnects all
network PCs from the shared Internet connection.
To quit ISS:
1
At the server PC, right-click the ISS icon on the right side of the
Windows taskbar.
2 Click Exit.
ISS starts again when you restart the ISS server PC or when you start ISS
manually at the ISS server.
Note: If your network uses a gateway or an access point, refer to
the documentation for these devices for connecting to the Internet.
