4. An Ad Hoc Network with Internet Sharing

If you have two or more computers (desktops or laptops) and want to share files,

printers, and Internet access using one computer or laptop as an Internet Server,

then follow the instructions below. When you have completed your network, it

should look similar to this:

To share an Internet connection with Internet Sharing software you will need to

purchase Internet Sharing software or use the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

utility provided with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98SE.

Please follow your software documentation to properly configure the Internet

sharing software after you install your wireless networking adapters. To install your

wireless network adapter follow the instructions on the next page.

If the Internet Sharing Software will be installed on the same computer into which

you are installing the C54RU, then follow these steps:

1. Install the wireless card into the computer.

2. Check the Device Manager to confirm that your adapter is installed correctly.

3. Install your Internet Sharing Software.

4. If required by the software, set the static IP Address for the wireless

adapter.

Note: The IP Address for all the computers on the network must be in the same IP

Address range, and the Subnet Mask must be the same for all the computers

on the network. For example, if the first computer is assigned an IP Address

of 10.0.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0, then the second computer can

be assigned an IP address of 10.0.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0, etc.
