Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Hi guys. just another post about ics. ics stands for internet connnection sharing. Actually there are two ways to share an internet connection over ur network. first, purchase a cheap and affordable harware called internet gateway device that can route the internet traffic to all of the connected computers. the second and free method is to use ICS, a service that allows you to share your connection without any additional hardware. This can be done over a wired(LAN) or a wireless network and u can share dialups as well as high speed broadband connections. But however it does not work over bluetooth PAN networks. I will be discussing the ICS method of sharing internet connection. FIrst of all, i mention the list of requirements for ICS.
1, A Host computer with a internet connection to share with other computers on the network.
2, a second computer, that is connected to the host PC via LAN or WLAN.

Thats all.

To begin with,
i have to mention that ive tested this process on Windows vista, xp and windows 7. although i believe that this will work on linux as well, but ive not tested it.
