How to Share Internet in Two Computers Through LAN

Well, many of the people face problem while connecting two computers through LAN and sharing internet in them. So, here's a tutorial regarding it.

Firstly, decide which one to make the server. A server is the computer which grants permission to its client to use the internet. That means, the server should be always ON, to allow clients to use the services offered by it. Lets suppose you have two computers, Com1 and Com2. Com1 is the server and Com2 is the client. Now, we need to connect the computers through LAN. So, get a Cable and connect the two computers. After you connect the cables, go to Network Connections ( Control Panel > Network Connections). Now, you'll see there a new connection named "Local Area Network". Right click on that connection and go to its properties. After you go to the properties, the option - "Client For Microsoft Networks" would be automatically selected. Scroll down the bar and choose "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and then click on the Properties.(See fig.1)

After that, On the server computer (i.e. Com1) do as shown in the fig.2

Leave other things/fields as it is. Apply it.

Now, on the client computer (i.e. com2) do as above but instead of entering the IP address as instructed above, choose "Obtain an IP address automatically". You don't need to do anything else. Just apply for it and you are ready.

Again on the Server Computer(com1), go to your internet connection on Network Connections. Right click on it and go to properties. Now go to advanced tab. And then put a tick mark on every option in the "Internet Connection Sharing" Field. Just press "OK" if any window pops up. Close it and you're done. Congrats, you have shared internet on your both PC's.
