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?
All the best
Steve

Steve,
So what's the point of an internet connection then? Please explain
how it differs from the other network connections we're using ...
Hi Carol,
To get rid of Internet Connection being shown on that computer, go
into Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, then go to the Windows Setup
tab, Tab then down to networking, hit the details button, uncheck the
Internet Connection Sharing box, then hit remove.
Don't know if this will solve your Eset problem, but I do this with
all the computers I set up. You don't need Internet Connection
Sharing if you have a NAT router, which you do. You have the Linksys
I believe.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Puzzled and the answer may solve My Eset problem
Hi all,
As some will recall ... my Eset Smart Security isn't backing up
automatically on one of the three computers in our house, whilst the
others are fine. I'm pretty sure that settings are the same on each
computer in Eset.
I do wonder whether it may have a bearing on the fact that the two
computers
that are updated automatically do have an Internet connection showing
in my Network Connections. However, although the otherlaptop is
working perfect happily on the network and going out to the internet,
there's no connection called "Internet" connection. Perhaps someone
could explain to me whether this is just a name that people have
given a connection made (perhaps the first) to get out on to the net
but doesn't actually differr from others which I may have. This will
help me to know whether this is a factor or not
...
I haven't given up the idea of calling Eset but do want to look at
all possibilities first.
I shall, as always, be grateful for any comments.
