Introduction 1
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is the Microsoft Windows feature that allows two or more computers to share a single Internet connection. This guide is prepared as a supplement to the Microsoft documentation supporting ICS. The instructions will enable you to set up a simple ICS network using a DIRECWAY Two-Way system.
The computer with DIRECWAY installed will share its connection to the Internet with other computers on a Local Area Network (LAN). This is the host computer. All computers that acquire the DIRECWAY Internet connection from the host are called clients. An ICS network consists of one host and any number of clients.

Note: You must install the DIRECWAY system before you configure ICS. This guide presumes you have installed DIRECWAY and are familiar with the supporting documentation.

Introduction 1

2 Introduction

Figure 1 shows a typical configuration with the four types of Windows platforms supported. You must configure and cable your network according to the instructions provided by the LAN hardware manufacture.

There are two models of the DIRECWAY product: Two-Way and One-Way. ICS is intended only for use with a DIRECWAY Two-Way satellite connection.

The two-way system is capable of both receiving data from and transmitting data to the satellite for access to the Internet. It uses a receive modem to receive data and a transmit modem to transmit data.

The one-way system receives data from the satellite using a receive modem but transmits data to the Internet using a telephone modem. Both are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: The two-way and one-way system modems

��

��

Hughes recommends that you enable only the Internet sharing options at first. After these features are working, enable file and printer sharing if desired. For larger or more complex networks, follow the instructions provided with your network hardware vendor and/or your network software vendor.

Note: The Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature is intended only for use with a DIRECWAY Two-Way satellite connection. ICS will function with a DIRECWAY One-Way satellite connection but this configuration is not supported by Hughes Network Systems, Inc.

System requirements

Please verify that your host computer meets the following requirements before proceeding.

• Pentium II with a 333 MHz processor or better• Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows

Millennium (Me), Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP

• 64 MB RAM (98 SE and Me), 128 MB RAM (Windows 2000 and XP)

• 800x600 pixel display or better• CD-ROM drive• PCI or AGP video adapter• 20 MB free hard disk space• Available USB port• 56 kbps modem• Analog telephone line (for system setup)

The client computers connected through ICS must meet the same requirements as above with the exception of operating systems. The following are valid for client computers:

• Windows 98• Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)• Windows Millennium (Me)• Windows 2000 Professional• Windows XP

Introduction 3

Five stages to configure ICS

4 Introduction

There are five stages to configure ICS for DIRECWAY:

• Install DIRECWAY on the computer that will be the host (see page 5).

• Verify network communications between the host and client computers (see page 7).

• Configure ICS on the host computer (see page 11).

• Configure client computers to access the Internet through the DIRECWAY host computer using Microsoft ICS (see page 33).

• Configure Microsoft Outlook Express and Internet Explorer on the client computers (see page 45).

Notes: Configuration of ICS varies depending on the type of Windows operating system. When following these instructions, follow the correct instructions for both host and client computers.

Stages 1 and 2 may be reversed if the network hardware exists before DIRECWAY is installed. If neither DIRECWAY nor the networks is installed, set up the network hardware (but not ICS) and verify connectivity before installing DIRECWAY on the host.

DIRECWAY must be uninstalled on computers that will become clients.

During the procedures in this guide, you may experience additional screens if ICS has been previously configured.

Install DIRECWAY on the host computer

Follow the instructions in the ReadMeFirst guide and the Installation Guide for Indoor Equipment and Software to install DIRECWAY.

Before proceeding to install ICS, do the following:

1. Restart your computer.2. Verify that you can access and surf the Internet

using DIRECWAY.3. Proceed to Verifying communications on

page 7.

Verifying communications 2

Determining your IP address

Note: The host must be restarted after installation of DIRECWAY to refresh network connections. Failure to do this will result in incorrect results in this stage.

1. On the host computer, open the Run dialog box by selecting Start→Run. Type Command and click OK.

2. In the DOS command window type ipconfig and press Enter. A list of Ethernet adapters and their IP addresses will be displayed as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 3: Launching a DOS command prompt

Figure 4: Displaying Ethernet adapter addresses using the ipconfig command


8 Verifying communicatio

3. Record the IP address of the Network Interface Card that connects the host computer to clients. Include the period between numbers.You will need this address below in Step 3.

IP Address

Notes: The IP address of this adapter typically starts with 169.254 as shown in Figure 4.

If the host computer has any additional Network Interface Cards, Modems, or VPN clients, the list will differ from that shown above.

4. Type exit and press enter to close the window.

Testingcommunications

between host andclients

1. Move to a client computer of the home network.

2. Open the Run dialog box by selecting Start→Run. Type Command and click OK.

3. Try to communicate with the host computer by typing ping followed by a space and the IP address that was previously recorded in Step 3, above, including periods. Press Enter.

The ping command is a standard utility that sends and receives communications between computers. Figure 5 shows a successful attempt, and Figure 6 shows an unsuccessful attempt.

Figure 5: Results of a successful ping

ns

Figure 6: Results of an unsuccessful ping

4. If the client fails to ping the host, there are issues with either the network hardware or configuration. Check the LAN connections, refer to the instructions that were provided with your network hardware, and retry the ping test in Step 3. Note: DIRECWAY cannot accept help calls for network problems. Consult a network professional or your network vendor for assistance.

5. Close the DOS window by typing Exit and pressing Enter.

6. Test all other client computers until all have successfully pinged the host.

7. If you have successfully established communications with the host, go to Configuring the ICS host on page 11.

Note: Do not continue to the next stage if any client cannot ping the host.
