Configuring Windows XP for Internet Connection Sharing Configuring your computer and device for Internet Connection Sharing takes a few minutes. You will, however, need to meet the following requirements.
System Requirements
Your game console must have an Ethernet port. A LAN Adapter is required for connecting to Michigan Tech’s network via ICS.
The computer you use for ICS must have two viable network connections; one to connect to Michigan Tech’s network and another to share the Internet connection with your game console. These ports must be wired Ethernet ports.
For connection sharing, you will need an Ethernet cable long enough to connect your game console to your connection sharing computer.
For Internet Connection Sharing, your Windows XP machine must have Service Pack 2 or later installed.
Configuring the Sharing Computer 1. Ensure you have an active internet connection. 2. Right-click your Local Area Network icon on System Tray. 3. Click Open Network Connection to open the Network Connections window.
In the Network Connections window, you will see multiple Internet connections. You will need to select the connection that you are using to access Michigan Tech’s 802.1x network. 4. Right-click the network adapter (e.g. Local Area Connection) that you are using to access Michigan Tech’s secure network and select Properties. Note: You may wish to rename the Michigan Tech adapter for ease of troubleshooting.

The generic configuration is: IP address: 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 Preferred DNS server: 192.168.0.1 (You should only need one.) Alternate DNS server: 141.219.70.30 (Optional) Note to Advanced Users: You can connect the secondary network adapter on the Internet Connection Sharing computer to provide internet for more than one device with the use of a network switch and multiple client IP addresses. In the above configuration any IP address between 192.168.0.2-254 (The last number between 2 and 254.) will allow secondary devices to connect. 8.
