Sharing an HSPA Internet Connection using Windows ICS & other methods

Internet Connection Sharing using CCProxy

OK, to all those who want to share their internet with any other pc's at their house, i found the best program to use is CCProxy ( as Windows ICS is shyt )

Free download from : www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/proxy-server-download.htm

* Note that the free version only allows 3 pc to be shared/connected.

Once downloaded, install it and run the program.
Once the program is in front of you, you will see many options.
The options tab will allow you to configure the proxy server. If you click Options ---> Advanced then you can select your dial-up entries ( if there is any ), and options like: "Disconnect after Xmin idle" "Auto connect/dial up" "Logs" "Password protection" etc etc.

To add accounts/computers so that they will be allowed to access the server click Accounts then click New ( Im sure you will be able to know what to do so i wont explain further than that )

Once the accounts are set up and the server has been configurated then the server is pretty much set up.

Depending on what type of network ( LAN or WLAN ), make sure you know the IP address of that NIC.

Setting up client pc's to access web:

No change will need to be made to the pc, but the IP will have to be manually selected if you specified an IP address when creating an account on CCProzy. Open Internet Explorer ( Im not certain about firefox settings as i dont use it but feel free to add here ) click tools ----> Internet options ----> connections ----> LAN settings. Under automatic configuration, tick the auto detect settings tab. Under proxy server, click "Use proxy server......". Once this is checked click advanced under "Proxy server".

For all the types of connections, type in the IP address of the proxy server ( which will be the IP address of the hosting pc". Then for port numbers all bust be 808, EXCEPT Socks which will be 1080.

Once this is done you're all set to go!


Hopes this helps :D
 
Fortech Proxy+ is also a free option. up to 10 concurrent users
 
OK I have it running, the client machine was blocked when accounts were set to allow all, but not when I set up an account for it, but it won't find websites... Just get server not found all the time
any ideas?

Well since you say u using a usb modem then it must be connected to one of the pc's. As ive discussed before in this thread, try using CCProxy for internet sharing as windows ICS is a piece of **** and always drops the connection forcing you to redo the wizard.

Try a search in this section for CCProxy, it should show up.

How To Connect The Server To Clients??

Version: 6.4.2
Serial Number: demo

I use a USB modem and my internet connection is 3.5G broadband. I tried to use a wireless router to share the connection. I connect the server with the router through the ethernet card and I tried plugging the cable into both the WLAN and WAN ports on the router, but I couldn't get the sharing to work. Anyone can help?

Thanks,
Sun
 
Sharing a 3G connection

Hi guys


Can you plz help me.
I got a PCIMCIA vodacom 3g card.
I installed the software and connects fine with the laptop.
I want to connect with my desktop through my laptop to the net.
But cant mannage to do this.
Can anyone plz help me?

Thank you
 
If you are using XP, do the following:

Right click on My network places and select properties.
Right click on the 3G connection in the window that pops up and select properties.
Select the Advanced tab.
Check the checkbox that says 'Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection'.
Click on apply and ok buttons.

By doing this it will set your laptop's IP address to static 192.168.0.1 and make it a DHCP server.

Go to you desktop and set your desktop to automatically obtain an IP address.
Right click on the local area connection in the network connections window and select repair.

Easy peasy
