Hi Carol, Internet Connection Sharing allows two computers to connect to the Internet if you don't have a router. So computer A is already connected to the Internet, and you want Computer B to be on the Internet as well, but you don't have a router. You then invoke Internet Connection Sharing, and so long as Computer A is switched on, then Computer B can access the Internet. Once you get a router, then no computer needs to be switched on, because the router maintains the Internet connection, obviating the need for Internet Connection Sharing. Therefore, if you don't need it, get rid. Make sense?
