The following describes five typical solutions for Internet access through ADSL. For more information about Internet access through ADSL, see "Use Network Interface commands" and "Use Access Control List ACLs) filter all addresses listed in RFC 1918 and prevent Internet access through ADSL.
[ADSL Internet sharing solution 1] using advanced ADSL Modem
Check whether your ADSL cat can automatically dial as needed. If yes, it is the most convenient. Buy a small switch, connect one to the ADSL cat, and connect other computers to the switch.
[ADSL Internet sharing solution 2] using a Broadband Router
Buy a small vro, connect to the ADSL cat, and then set the dialing username and password in the vro to allow the vro to dial. Then two computers are connected to the router. This is the most widely used solution for families and small offices.
[ADSL Internet sharing solution 3] using a software Router
The principle is exactly the same as that of using a Broadband Router. However, this router can be replaced by a "obsolete" mainstream configuration, which is a waste of time.) computers and free soft routing software are installed, such software is known as "m0n0wall" and "ipcop ".
[ADSL Internet sharing solution 4] using software NAT
Connect one of the two computers to the ADSL cat for virtual dialing, and then install a NAT network address on it for software, or directly use the XP built-in ICSinternet connection sharing) network Connection Sharing Service. Then another computer client) sets this computer as the default gateway, and the client's IP address must be 192.168.0.
[ADSL Internet sharing solution 5] using HTTP Proxy Server
The physical connection is the same as above. The difference is that the server installs a proxy server software, and then the client sets the proxy server address in IE to access the Internet, however, in this way, only webpage surfing is supported. Many other applications have restrictions. Things always have two sides. The security of the client is quite high in this method.
