ASUS WiFi-b™ Card

4.5 Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

After setting the WiFi-b™ card on Soft AP mode, you may enable Internet

Connection Sharing (ICS). ICS is a Windows

XP feature allowing several

computers in a wired or wireless network to share a single Internet connection.

With ICS, other wireless clients in a home or small office network rely on the

WiFi-b™ for Internet access. Follow these instructions to enable ICS.

4.5.1 Connect to the Internet using a broadband

connection that is always on

To enable ICS if your computer connects to the Internet using a broadband that is

always on:

1. Open the Wireless Settings utility.

Select Config from the property

window, then select the Soft AP tab.

2. Select the built-in 3Com Gigabit LAN

connection from the Available

Network Connections field, then

drag it to the Internet field.

3. Check Enable ICS and Enable

Firewall, then click Apply.

4. Click OK when this dialog box

appears.

5. An Internet Sharing Configuration

dialog box appears. Click Yes. The

Internet network connection and the

WiFi-b™ card is bridged. See section

4.6 “Network Bridge” for details.

Wireless clients must be set to Infrastructure network type and STA (station) mode to

connect to the Internet via the soft AP. The SSID and WEP keys of client computers

must be identical with that of the soft AP.
