Network Setup Wizard

Picture: Network Setup Wizard

After you physically connect all computers in your network with all necessary hardware, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to:
- configure all computers in your network to share one Internet connection either through an Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) computer, a residential gateway, or a hub.
- set up Windows Firewall to protect your computer or network when it is connected to the Internet so only certain applications and services - that you trust - can access your computer or network.
- enable file and printer sharing so that certain files, folders, or printers can be accessed by all computers in your network.

You can get to the Network Setup Wizard through:
1) Start>Control Panel>Network Setup Wizard, or
2) Start>Control Panel>Network Connections>Network Tasks>Set up a home or small office network, or
3) Start>All Programs>Accessories>Communications>Network Setup Wizard, or
4) My Network Places>Network Tasks>Set up a home or small office network, or
5) My Network Places>Network Tasks>View network connections>Set up a home or small office network, or
