Sharing an Internet Connection Between Computers

With Windows 2000, you can connect several computers to the Internet through one connection. For example, you may have a home network that connects to the Internet through a dial-up connection. By using Internet connection sharing, several family members can connect to the Internet on different computers, individually or at the same time, using only one phone line.

Each connected computer has the ability to use virtually any of the Internet services it could normally access if connected directly. This includes activities like Internet browsing, e-mail, multiplayer gaming, and chat sessions, to name a few.

For more information about Internet connection sharing, see Windows 2000 Help.
